    Study Notes

    Binary and Decimal Conversion

    • IPv4 addresses are represented in 32 binary bits divided into 4 8-bit octets.
    • IPv4 addresses are commonly expressed in dotted decimal notation.
    • To convert a binary IPv4 address to decimal, enter the 8-bit binary number of each octet under the positional value of row 1 and calculate to produce the decimal.
    • To convert a decimal IPv4 address to binary, use the positional chart. If the number is greater than the 128 bit position, a 1 is placed in this position. If not, a 0 is placed. 128 is subtracted from the original number and the remainder is checked against the next position. If it's less, a 0 is placed. If it's greater, a 1 is placed, and 64 is subtracted. Repeat until all positional values are entered.

    IPv4 Address Structure

    • An IPv4 address is hierarchical, composed of a network portion and host portion.
    • All devices on the same network must have the identical network portion.
    • The subnet mask helps devices identify the network portion and host portion.
    • Three IPv4 addresses must be configured on a host: the unique IPv4 address of the host, the subnet mask, and the default gateway - the IP address of the local router interface.
    • The IPv4 address is compared to the subnet mask bit by bit, from left to right to identify the network and host portions.

    IPv4 Unicast, Broadcast, and Multicast

    • Unicast - one to one communication uses the address of the destination device as the destination address.
    • Broadcast - one to all communication sends a message to everyone in the LAN (broadcast domain). The destination IPv4 address has all ones (1s) in the host portion.
    • Multicast - one to a select group of recipients, uses addresses from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255, are reserved for multicast.

    Types of IPv4 Addresses

    • Private addresses - Not routable, introduced in the mid-1990s due to the depletion of IPv4 addresses, used only in internal networks, must be translated to a public IPv4 address to be routable, defined by RFC 1918.
    • Private Address Blocks - 10.0.0.0 /8 or 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0 /12 or 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255, 192.168.0.0 /16 or 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255.
    • Loopback addresses (127.0.0.0 /8 or 127.0.0.1) - used on a host to test if the TCP/IP configuration is operational.
    • Link-Local addresses (169.254.0.0 /16 or 169.254.0.1) - commonly known as Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) addresses, used by Windows clients to self-configure if no DHCP server is available.
    • TEST-NET addresses (192.0.2.0/24 or 192.0.2.0 to 192.0.2.255) - used for teaching and learning.
    • Legacy Classful Addressing - In 1981, Internet IPv4 addresses were assigned using classful addressing (RFC 790). Network addresses were based on 3 classes: Class A (0.0.0.0/8 to 127.0.0.0/8), Class B (128.0.0.0 /16 – 191.255.0.0 /16), Class C (192.0.0.0 /24 – 223.255.255.0 /24).
    • Classless Addressing - Introduced in the 1990s, Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR), allowed service providers to allocate IPv4 addresses on any address bit boundary (prefix length) instead of only by a class A, B, or C.
    • The following organizations manage and maintain IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for the various regions: American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) - North America, Réseaux IP Europeans (RIPE) - Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia, Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC) - Asia and Pacific regions, African Network Information Centre (AfriNIC) – Africa, Regional Latin-American and Caribbean IP Address Registry (LACNIC) - Latin America and some Caribbean islands.

    ICMP

    • ICMPv4 is the messaging protocol for IPv4. ICMP messages include: host confirmation, destination or service unreachable, time exceeded, route redirection.

    Testing and Verification

    • Ping the local loopback address of 127.0.0.1 for IPv4 to verify that IP is properly installed on the host.
    • Use ping to test the ability of a host to communicate on the local network.
    • Use ping to test the ability of a host to communicate across an internetwork.
