Study Notes

IP Addressing Concepts

  • Anycast Addresses: Type of address in IPv6 facilitating one-to-many communication between source and destination.
  • Broadcast Domain: Defines the range of devices that receive broadcast packets from any device within the network.
  • CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing): IP addressing method determined by a prefix, indicating how many bits are used for network identification.
  • Loopback Address: An address that always points to the local machine, primarily used for testing.
  • Multicasting: Enables network communication where data packets are sent to multiple specified destinations simultaneously.

Networking Commands and Configuration

  • View DNS Cache: Use the command ipconfig /displaydns to display the contents of the local DNS cache.
  • Default Gateway Validity: For the IP address 201.18.149.37/28, 201.18.149.46 is a valid default gateway.
  • Subnet Mask for 16 Host Bits: To create 16 bits of host address space, the subnet mask used should be 255.255.0.0.

Networking Principles

  • Route Summarization: True statement; can consolidate multiple routing table entries into a single entry.
  • Network ID Determination: Computers use a logical AND operation between IP address and subnet mask to identify the network ID.
  • Invalid IP Address Assignment: 172.16.255.128/25 is an invalid IP address/prefix for a host.

IP Address Structure and Classes

  • IPv6 Address Size: An IPv6 address is composed of 128 bits, not 32 or 64.
  • Class C Address: 193.19.101.11 is classified as a Class C address, which has specific ranges for addressing.
  • Public IP Address Access: To allow multiple workstations to use a single public IP, the network must implement Port Address Translation (PAT).

Addressing Techniques and Shortages

  • Binary Number System: Based on powers of 2, which is fundamental to digital communications.
  • Shortage Solutions for IPv4: Strategies include IPv6 adoption, supernetting, subnetting, NAT (Network Address Translation), and private addressing.
  • Class Identification: The class of an IP address is indicated by the first octet of the address.

Address Configuration

  • IPv6 Address Format: False statement; IPv6 addresses consist of eight 16-bit hexadecimal numbers separated by colons.
  • Subnet Mask Purpose: The subnet mask indicates the part of the IP address that designates the network ID.
  • Host Addresses in Class C: A Class C network supports 254 available host addresses.

Host Addressing

  • Host Address Assignment: For the network address 192.168.100.0, the prefix for 30 host addresses is /27.
