Addressing the Network: IPv4
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Address pool | The range of IP addresses that can be assigned by the DHCP server. |
| Administratively scoped addresses | An IPv4 multicast address that is restricted to a local group or organization. |
| AND | One of 3 basic binary logic operations. ANDing yields the following results: 1 AND 1 = 1 | 1 AND 0 = 0 | 0 AND 1 = 0 | 0 AND 0 = 0 |
| Broadcast Address | An address used to represent a transmission from one device to all devices. In Ethernet, FFF.FFF.FFF is used as a destination MAC address to cause a frame to be sent to all the devices on the subnet. |
| Classful Addressing | An IPv4 addressing scheme that uses a subnet mask that does not follow classful addressing limitations. It provides increased flexibility when dividing ranges of IP addresses into separate networks. |
| Classless Addressing | A unicast IP address that is considered to have 3 parts: network part, subnet part, and a host part. Classful addressing is not generally practiced in current network implementations. |
| Digital Logic | Also known as Boolean algebra. These consist of the AND, OR, and IF operations. |
| Directed broadcast | A term that describes IPv4 packets sent to all hosts in a particular network. In a directed broadcast, a single copy of the packet is routed to the specified network, where it is broadcasted to all hosts on that network. |
| Dotted decimal | A convention for writing IP addresses with four decimal numbers, ranging from 0 to 255, with each octet (each decimal number) representing 8 bits of the 32 bit IP address. |
| Globally scoped addresses | Unique addresses that are public domain addresses. |
| High-order bits | The portion of a binary number that carries the most weight, the one written farthest to the left. High-order bits are the 1s in the network mask. |
| Internet Backbone | A high-speed line or series of connections that forms a major pathway within a network. The term is often used to describe the main network connections compromising the Internet. |
| Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) | As part of the TCP/IP internet layer, ICMP defines protocol messages used to inform network engineers of how well an internetwork is working. Used to troubleshoot nodes via commands like PING and TRACEROUTE. |
| Limited broadcast | A broadcast that is sent to a specific network or series of networks. |
| Limited-scope Addresses | An IPv4 multicast address that is restricted to a local group or organization. |
| Link-local Addresses | An IPv4 address in the range of 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. Communication using these addresses is used with a TTL of 1 and limited to the local network. |
| Loopback | A special reserved IPv4 address, 127.0.0.1, that can be used to test TCP/IP applications. |
| Low-order bits | Represents the 0 in the binary number. In an IP subnet mask, the low-order bits represent the host portion. Sometimes called the host portion of bits. |
| Most significant bit | The bit position in a binary number having the greatest value. The most significant bit is sometimes referred to as the leftmost bit. |
| Multicast Client | A member of a multicast group. Every multicast client in each group has the same IP address. Multicast addresses begin with 224.*.*.* and end with 239.*.*.* |
| Multicast Group | A group that receives a multicast transmission. The members of a multicast group have the same IP multicast IP addressing to receive the same transmission (a one to many transmission). |
| Network Address Translation (NAT) | Translation of RFC 1918 addresses to public domain addresses. Allows private IP addresses to masquerade behind a public IP address. |
| Network Time Protocol (NTP) | A protocol for synchronizing the clocks of computer systems over packet-switched data networks. NTP uses UDP power 123 as its transport layer. |
| Positional notation | Sometimes called place-value notation, this is a numeral system in which each position is related to the next by a constant multiplier, a common ratio, called the base or radix of that numeral system. |
| Prefic Length | In IP subnetting, this refers to the portion of a set of IP addresses whose value must be identical for the addresses to be in the same subnet. |
| Private Addresses | Defined in RFC 1918, an IP address that does not have to be globally unique because the address exists inside a single private IP internetwork. |
| Public Addresses | An IP address that has been registered with IANA or one of its member agencies, which guarantees that the address is globally unique. |
| radix | The number of various unique digits, including 0, that a positional numeral system uses to represent numbers. For example, in the binary system, (base 2), the radix is 2. In the decimal system (base 10), the radix is 10. |
| Regional Internet Registries (RIR) | Organizations that are responsible for the allocation and registration of Internet number resources within a particular region of the world. ARIN, RIPE, APNIC, LACNIN, AfriNIC |
| Reserved link-local addresses | The IPv4 multicast addresses 224.0.0.0 to 224.0.0.255. These addresses are to be used for multicast groups on a local network. Packets to these destinations are always tramitted with a TTL value of 1. |
| Round-trip Time (RTT) | The time required for some networking PDUs to be sent and received, and a response PDU to be sent and received. |
| Scope | The extent of a certain item. ie., and address scope is also known as a range of addresses from the beginning of the range to the end. |
| Slash Format | A method of expressing a network prefix. It uses a forward slash (/) followed by a network prefix such as 192.168.254.0/24. This /24 represents the 24-bit network prefix in slash format. |
| Test-net Addresses | The IPv4 address block 192.0.2.0 to 192.0.2.255 (192.0.2.0/24) that is set aside for teaching and learning purposes. These addresses can be used in documentation and network examples. |
| What subnet mask would be used with the hosts in the 128.107.176.0/22 network? | 255.255.252.0 |
| You have been assigned the address block 10.255.255.224/28 to create the network addresses for PTP WAN links. How many of these WANs can you support with this address block? 1, 4, 7, or 14? | The answer is 4, .224, .228, .232, and .236 |
| What defines an IPv4 logical network? | Hosts with the same network portion of their IPv4 address. |
| Name and state the purpose of the three types of IPv4 addresses. | Network Address: The address by which you refer to the network. Broadcast Address: A special address used to send data to all hosts in the network. Host Address: The addresses assigned to the end devices in the network. |
| What distinguishes each of the three types of IPv4 addresses? | Network Address: Lowest address in the network; 0s in the host portion of the address. Host Address: Host bits are a unique mix of 1s and 0s within a network. Broadcast Address: Uses the highest address in the network range. The host portion is all 1s. |
| List the 3 forms of IPv4 communication. | Unicast: Sending a packet from one host to an individual host. Broadcast: Sending a packet from one host to all hosts in the network. Multicast: Sending a packet from one host to a selected group of hosts. |
| List the purpose of having specified ranges of IPv4 addresses for public and private use. | Specified private addresses allow network administrators to allocate addresses to those hosts that do not need to access the Internet. |
| List 3 reasons for planning and documenting IPv4 addresses. | Preventing duplication of addresses, Providing and controlling access, Monitoring security and performance. |
| Cite examples where network administrators should statically assign IPv4 addresses. | Servers, printers, LAN gateway addresses on routers, management addresses on network devices such as switches and wireless APs. |
| What was the primary motivation for the development of IPv6? | The lack of IPv4 addresses in the future is what spurred IPv6 development. |
| What is the purpose of the subnet mask in IPv4 addressing? | Network devices use the subnet mask to determine the network or subnet address of an IP address that the device is processing. |
| List factors to consider when planning an IPv4 addressing scheme. | Grouping based on common geographic location, Grouping hosts used for specific purposes, Grouping base on ownership. |
| What are three tests that use the ping utility to test and verify the operation of a host? | Ping 127.0.0.1: Loopback test to test IP operation, Ping the host gateway address or another host on the same network to determine communication on local network, Ping a host on a remote network to test gateway and beyond. |
