The Roots of Poor IP Allocation and Its Security Risks Every device on a network needs an IP address. The address is like a house number. It shows where data should go. When addresses are managed well, the network stays safe and works fast. When they are managed badly, many problems can happen. Poor IP allocation means the addresses are given, tracked, or used in the wrong way. ThisRead more
Introduction to the Idea of Buying IP Blocks In the early years of the Internet, there were enough addresses for everyone. But as online use grew, free space ran out. Because new addresses are limited, many companies now choose to buy IP blocks from others instead of waiting for fresh allocations. Buying IP blocks has become part of modern network planning. A company that buys addresses can support its customers,Read more
Introduction to the Idea of IP Allocation An IP address is what allows your device to join the Internet. It is a number that points to your location in the network. Each time you open a web page or send an email, that number helps data find its way. The act of giving out these numbers is called IP allocation. It may look like a simple job, but inRead more
Subnetting is a key concept in the field of IP network management. Understanding the way subnetting impacts IP allocation is helpful for optimising network performance. It is also helpful for improving network security. Introduction to Subnetting and IP Allocation Subnetting is a technique. This technique is used in the management of IP networks. Its main function is to divide a larger network into smaller sub-networks. With this increasing demand,Read more
DHCP uses a four-step process (Discover, Offer, Request, Acknowledge) to lease IPs automatically from a pool. It supports dynamic, automatic, and manual (reserved) allocation to avoid address conflicts and ease network management. What is DHCP and why it matters The service called Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) automatically assigns the IP addresses and other network information to devices. Without the DHCP, network have to manually configure the every device whichRead more
