Subnetting

Subnetting is a way of dividing a large network into smaller, more efficient sections called subnets. Think of it like splitting a big neighborhood into smaller blocks to manage traffic better. Each subnet has its own unique identifier, helping devices communicate more efficiently and securely. This process improves network performance, eases troubleshooting, and conserves IP addresses by organizing network space logically. Essentially, subnetting makes large networks more manageable and optimized for specific needs.
