Question

Can we use 0.0.0.0 as an IP address. If yes then where? If no then why not?

Answer 1

no 0.0.0.0 is used to disable the network port on some embeded devices.

Answer 2

Simple answer:

No.

Answer 3

it doesnt exist its not in a single class class A ip addresses start w/ 1 therefore there is no way possible your IP can start w/ 0. there's many other things wrong w/ it as well but ya cant be done

Answer 4

No ip address can be all 0's or 1's.

In binary 0.0.0.0 would be basically all  0's. 255.255.255.255 would be all 1's.

If an address is all 0's or 1's with any subnet that would make it either the address of the network, or the broadcast address. It cannot be assigned to a single node.

Answer 5

I have no idea! But it is an excellent question! I'm curious as to what people have to say, especially the tech junkies!
