IP addresses have a default ____.

Class A addresses give you _____ hosts per network.

There are _____ Class B network IDs.

Class D addresses are used for _____ groups.

Class E addresses are reserved for ________.

The first address in an address range is used to identify the ______ itself.

The last address in the range is used as the _______ address.

Each host must have a unique ______ address.

Addresses in the 127.0.0.0 range are reserved to refer to the ______.

IP Address Representation

Binary representation includes values from 0 to 255 for each octet, represented in 8 bits.
For example, 128 is represented as 10000000, 64 as 01000000, and 32 as 00100000.

Classful IP Addressing

Class A:
- Address Range: 1.0.0.0 to 126.255.255.255
- Default Subnet Mask: 255.0.0.0
- 126 Class A network IDs available, each allowing 16,777,214 hosts.
Class B:
- Address Range: 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255
- Default Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
- 16,384 Class B network IDs available, each accommodating 65,534 hosts.
Class C:
- Address Range: 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255
- Default Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
- 2,097,152 Class C network IDs available, each supporting 254 hosts.
Class D:
- Address Range: 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255
- Used for multicast groups.
Class E:
- Address Range: 240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255
- Reserved for experimental use.

Network and Broadcast Addresses

The first address in any address range is the network address, identified with all 0's in the host portion.
- Example Class A address: 115.0.0.0.
The last address is the broadcast address, identified with all 1's in the host portion.
- Example Class A broadcast address: 115.255.255.255.

Host Addressing

Each host must have a unique IP address within the same network.
Common network portion is required for hosts on the same network.
Subnet masks dictate the available IP address range for hosts.
Host addresses cannot be the first or last in the range; reserved for network and broadcast addresses.
- Example Class A host range: 115.0.0.1 to 115.255.255.254.

Special Addressing

Addressing a host can also be indicated by setting the network portion to all 0's.
Local host addresses in the range 127.0.0.0 refer to the loopback interface, identifying the current host.

This quiz covers the basics of IP address representation, including binary formats and the classes of IP addresses from A to E. You'll explore how each class accommodates different network IDs and hosts, along with the significance of network and broadcast addresses. Test your knowledge on these critical networking concepts.
