Binary IP addresses

- [Instructor] Once you understand all of the math behind converting numbers that we as humans, look at IP addresses in decimal format, while the computer looks at 'em in binary format. First of all, just as a quick review, went over this a few videos ago, each of the four numbers in an IP address, right, so you take 32 bits in total, And that's why each octet has a number between zero and 255. An example of one of these IP addresses in decimal, the way you and I would see it, is 192.168.10.101. So let's see how this breaks down into a binary IP address. Alright, so here on the screen I have the eight binary column values. One, two, four, eight, 16, 32, 64, and 128. And then we have our decimal IP address of 192.168.10.101. So let's take the first octet, 192. 192, if we broke that down into binary, it would come down to 128 plus 64. So it comes down to a binary number of 11000000. Then we take the second number which is 168, and we'll see that when we convert that to binary it's 128…
