Study Notes

Module Information

Module title: IP Addressing
Subject: Computer Systems Servicing
Quarter: 2
Module number: 5
Level: Senior High
Department: Department of Education (DepED)

IP address: A number uniquely identifying a computer or device on the internet
IP addresses are assigned in two ways: static and dynamic
Dynamic allocation: Automatic assignment, often used in home networks, managed by DHCP
Static allocation: Manual assignment, less common in home networks
IP address classes: Categorization of IP addresses
- Class A (1.0.0.1 to 126.255.255.254); large networks
- Class B (128.1.0.1 to 191.255.255.254); medium networks
- Class C (192.0.1.1 to 223.255.254.254); small networks
- Class D (224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255); multicast groups
- Class E (240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.254); reserved for future use
Loopback address: 127.0.0.1
Broadcast address: 255.255.255.255 (used to broadcast messages to all hosts on a local network)
Google's IP address: 216.58.220.196
Class A is not used for multicast
Class B is not used for multicast
Class C is not reserved for future use

Packet Information

Packet: A segment of data sent from one computer/device to another over a network. It has a source, destination, data, size, and other useful information.
TCP/IP Packet: Common packet type over the internet
Packets are used because they break up data into manageable chunks for efficient transmission

Network Configuration

Configuring static IP addresses: A good practice for home networks, allows manual assignment of IP address to devices avoiding conflict.
Use of tools like command prompt and TCP/IPv4 properties in windows Operating system are critical in configuring IP address settings.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol): Commonly used in home networks
Default gateway: (Router or other device acting as a gateway to other networks); crucial for internet access
DNS (Domain Name System): Translates domain names (e.g., google.com) into IP addresses
