The Advantages of Choosing a Dedicated DHCP Server
DHCP or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol servers work by providing and assigning IP addresses automatically, along with default gateways as well as other network parameters to the client device in order to broadcast their queries. As the protocol sends the required elements automatically, this allows the client to communicate properly on the network without requiring the network administrator to manually configure each client in the network. In a large enterprise, manually setting up the clients joining the network can be quite cumbersome the network administrator. With the DHCP server in place, each of the clients would be assigned a unique dynamic IP address, which would change automatically when the client’s lease has expired that IP address. Choosing a centralized, dedicated[…]

Facts to Know About Internet Protocols
Internet protocols, abbreviated as IPs, enable computers to communicate with each other. When these communicate, data moves from one system to another one. Internet protocols also give these devices IP addresses to identify one another. Two types of internet protocols exist today, namely IPv4 and IPv6. When the internet began spreading quickly in the 1990’s, there were in excess of 4 billion IPv4 addresses. The sixth version of internet protocol came in 1998. Both versions of internet protocols can coexist inside a network. Here are more fun facts about IPs.

A Quick Look at APNIC IPv4 Transfers
An IPv4 address transfer can only happen when the source account initiates the process. At the same time, the recipient account would be required to acknowledge the transfer of the IP address within a month or the request would be canceled by APNIC. After both the parties agree to the IPv4 transfer, APNIC Hostmasters would evaluate the request and approve it if it meets all the terms and conditions specified by the Regional Internet Registry. Generally, APNIC Hostmasters takes around 1 – 2 working days to respond to an IPv4 address transfer request. Once it is approved, the IPv4 addresses to be transferred would show up on the transfer log on the APNIC website. However, the RIR might ask for[…]

What Does IPv4 Subnetting Mean?
Subnetting refers to a defined course of action that takes a network and splits it into smaller ones, which are called subnets. The method is generally used to make more public IPv4 addresses available as well as to create segment networks, which makes it easy to manage the network and improves security. The subnetting process can be easily understood if you were acquainted with how the binary structure of IP addresses and their decimals work. As an IPv4 address is characteristically a 32-bit number, they are categorized into 4 x 8-bit numbers to make the IP addresses simpler. These 8-bit numbers, known as octets, are separated using a decimal point and range within 0 to 255. The highest number here[…]
