Study Notes
IPv4 Address Structure
- An IPv4 address is a 32-bit hierarchical address made up of a network portion and a host portion.
- The network portion must have identical bits for all devices in the same network.
- The host portion must have unique bits to identify a specific host within a network.
- A subnet mask is used to determine the network and host portions.
IPv4 Address Assignment
- Assigning an IPv4 address to a host requires an IPv4 address and a subnet mask.
- The subnet mask is compared to the IPv4 address bit for bit, from left to right, to identify the network and host portions.
- This process is called ANDing.
- The subnet mask differentiates the network portion from the host portion of an IPv4 address.
Types of IPv4 Addresses
Special Use IPv4 Addresses
- Certain addresses, such as the network address and broadcast address, cannot be assigned to hosts.
- Loopback addresses (127.0.0.0/8) are used by a host to direct traffic to itself.
- Link-Local addresses (169.254.0.0/16) are used by Windows DHCP clients to self-configure when no DHCP servers are available.
Broadcast Addresses
- A limited broadcast is sent to 255.255.255.255.
- Routers do not forward broadcasts by default.
- A directed broadcast address is the highest address in the network, with all host bits being 1s.
IPv4 Unicast, Broadcast, and Multicast
Multicast
- Multicast transmission sends a packet to a multicast address group.
- A multicast packet has a destination IP address that is a multicast address (224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255).
- Each multicast group is represented by a single IPv4 multicast destination address.
IPv4 Address Structure: The Prefix Length
- A prefix length is a method used to identify a subnet mask address.
- The prefix length is the number of bits set to 1 in the subnet mask.
- It is written in "slash notation," with a forward slash (/) followed by the number of bits set to 1.
Types of IPv4 Addresses: Public and Private IPv4 Addresses
- Public IPv4 addresses are globally routed between internet service providers (ISPs).
- Private IPv4 addresses are used internally within networks and are not globally routable.
- Private addresses can be used internally within any network, but they are not unique.
- Private address ranges are 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16.
Types of IPv4 Addresses: Routing to the Internet
- Network Address Translation (NAT) translates private IPv4 addresses to public IPv4 addresses.
- NAT is typically enabled on the edge router.
