    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.
