CCNA 200-301 Tutorials  Converting the Decimal IP Address to Binary


CCNP ENCOR 350-401 Tutorials IP addresses can be read in decimal or binary representation, but network devices only understand the binary value

Therefore, we must understand how to convert a decimal IP address to binary form.

Recommended CCNA Training Remember that IPv4 addresses are typically written in decimal digits, formatted as four 8-bit fields separated by
Course: periods. Each 8-bit field, called an octet, represents a byte of the IPv4 address.

Decimal Number

A decimal is a base 10 numbering system with which most of us are familiar. We use ten different numerals to repre
the decimal numbers from zero to nine. The numerals are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Once we get to the number
there is no numeral to represent this value, so we go one place value up from ones to tens and so on and so forth.

Binary Number
Binary numbers are another number system mostly used to represent machine language. Unlike the decimal numb
binary number system only has two numerals to binary representations, which are numbers 1 and 0. The placehold
binary each has a value of, so Binary code is also known as the Base 2 Numbering System.

20 = 1

21 = 2

22 = 4

So since there are only two numerals that represent a binary digit, a usual example of it can be seen below.

0001100

11110100

Converting Decimal to Binary IP Address

Below is an example of an IPv4 address in dotted decimal format and its corresponding binary format.
:
Understanding the IP address given in the example above, below are the corresponding equivalent of the decimal
numbers to binary.

192 = 11000000

168 = 10101000

32 = 00100000

47 = 00101111

The first thing to do in converting decimal to binary system is to understand the corresponding decimal digits of the
byte. As stated earlier, there are 8 bits in 1 byte, and every bit corresponds to specific digits based on the most
significant bit (MSB) and the least significant bit (LSB).

Now we take the number 168, for example, and convert it to a binary number. To do so, we must do a simple additio
method of values based on the table above to get the corresponding decimal number. Each 1’s should be added, a
0’s should be disregarded.

Now, subtract the decimal value from the MSB value of the octet and continue the process until you subtract the LS
value or your result is already zero. All the results with a positive value or zero will be counted as a 1, subtracted to

next value, and, if not, will be considered 0.

168 -128 = 40 (1)

40 – 64 = -24 (0)

40 – 32 = 8 (1)

8 – 16 = -8 (0)

8 – 8 = 0 (1)

0 – 4 = -4 (0)

0 – 2 = -2 (0)

0 – 1 = (0)

Once the difference is zero, the rest of the value up to the LSB shall be zero. Therefore the binary equivalent of 168
10101000.
