Introducing IP Addresses
Every device that s connected to the network using the TCP/IP protocol requires an IP address. Every individual in an organization has a unique employee ID by which the rest of the organization identifies him. An IP address is a 32 bit number that is unique for each device. A bit is the smallest unit of information on a computer. The value of a bit is either 0 or 1. All the other devices or computers on the network identify a device using the IP address.
