in ip addressing what does this / after the ip address mean

It means that there are 12 bits of subnetting. That translates to a subnet mask of 255.240.0.0
The network range that includes 192.168.10.32/12 is 192.160.0.0 - 192.175.255.255. That is an invalid range, however.
192.168.0.0/16 (subnet mask of 255.255.0.0) is reserved for private IP networks. That range represented by 12 bits in the example exceeds the range allowed for the private network and therefore cannot be used on a network that is connected to the internet in any way.

Since your ip address is a class C and in the private range the CIDR notation (mask) is invalid and should probably have a /24. Take a look at the gateway address to confirm this. It should be 192.168.10.1 Normally a mask of /12 would be used when a large amount of ip addresses are needed.

Every machine that is on a network (a local network, or the network of the Internet) has a unique IP number [four sets of numbers divided by period with up to three numbers in each set. (Ie 64.139.27.165)] - If a machine does not have an IP address it cannot be on a network. Most machines also have one or more Domain Names that are easier for people to remember

This means a range of IP starting from 192.168.10.23 with a subnet of 8 + 4 binary octects. Thats means first 8 (11111111 or 255) is same for all clients in the network, ie 192. is same for all machine and second 4 (11110000) sshould also be same

192.168.10.23/ 12 means
IP address: 192.168.20.23 Subnet Mask: 255.240.0.0.
IP address is divided in into 4 octects (32bits)
In your above IP addrss 12 bits are network bits, remaining 20 bits are host bits
Subnet mask is used to differentiate betweent the network bits and host bits

internel network IP address- if u have your own network - u can assign these ip address to your workstations. 127.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.1 are similar.

Subdirectories, sometimes files (if it is a web server).

192.168.10.23/12-----> {/12}mean subnetmask use 12bit
so subnetmask is ----> 11111111.11110000.00000000.00000000 = 255.240.0.0
network id --->192.160.0.0
