People refer to xxx as a wildcard. Its like a range. If you say: 216.x.x.x that means any IP from 216. Its almost like "*" a wildcard used for most things. My ip address is usually a 172.x.x.x everytime i connect online I get the first 3 numbers, but the rest changes. Wildcard means anything in that IP.

Hi All,

In some previous posts I have noticed people refering to their IP address
range as xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xx.

Just curious as to what the /xx refers to.  Is it some type of range?

TIA

Frank McKenna
