I recently completed the IP addressing course on LinkedIn Learning, and while it starts off simple, it escalates quickly. Several concepts are briefly touched upon in other courses leading up to this one, but the examples explaining these concepts could use improvement. It was easy to get lost in the calculations for various IP addresses and subnet masking.
Additionally, the quizzes often asked questions about topics that weren't specifically mentioned in the learning material. I believe the course could benefit from better visual examples. Instead of listing multiple IP addresses, which can be overwhelming, more engaging visuals would enhance understanding. Overall, the course has potential but needs refinement in these areas.

Course details
The IP address is a fundamental building block for a functioning modern network. In this course, instructor Anthony Sequeira explains the basics of IP addressing, the components of an IP address, aggregation, and more. Anthony begins by describing what the IP address does and why it is critical in a successful network. He goes into the structure of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Anthony shows you how to work with the classful addressing system for IP addresses, then goes over subnet masks and subnet addressing. He covers how variable length subnet masking (VLSM) permits the creation of optimal "right-sized" network segments. Anthony walks you through CIDR and IP address aggregation. He explains special use addresses, then concludes with how IP services such as DHCP, DNS, and NAT can benefit your network.
