IP addresses represent the network and the host. Even more, they can represent the network, subnet, and the host. What does that mean?

The IP address is divided into two parts, the network and the host. The Hosts are then further divided into subnets and hosts.

I've heard the analogy of a telephone number. The first three numbers are the area code and round down the area, then the next three numbers round it down more, and so on until the specific phone is reached.

I hope this helps! If so, please don't forget to "accept" my answer!
