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 /displaydnsto 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.
