#Save this script to a file (e.g., "generate_ips.sh") and make it executable by running:
#chmod +x generate_ips.sh
./generate_ips.sh
This script will generate 5000 random valid IP addresses and save them to the "ips.txt" file in ascending order. 
The `sort` command is used to sort the IP addresses numerically.
