Addressing the Network: IPv4

        Help!  

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.  
🗑
