Study Notes
Examining IPv4 Addressing
- IPv4 addresses are unique identifiers for devices on a network.
- IPv4 addresses are 32 bits divided into four octets, like 192.168.1.1.
- Each of the four octets in the address can have a value from 0 to 255, providing a range of possible addresses.
- Binary is crucial because IP addresses, though often represented in decimal, are fundamentally processed in binary by network devices.
- Understanding binary is key to understanding network addressing and how subnetting works at a technical level.
- A subnet mask works alongside an IP address to define which part of the address identified or belongs to the network and which part refers to the host.
- Subnet masks determine the subnet to which an IP address belongs.
- The network ID, or network portion, of an IP address is determined by the subnet mask.
- Network ID indicates the specific network a device is on.
- The host ID, or node ID, identifies the specific device within that network.
- The host ID is the part of the IP address not covered by the subnet mask.
- Understanding the network and host portions of an IP address is crucial for determining both the network a device belongs to and its unique identifier within that network.
ANDing
- The IPv4 host address is logically ANDed with its subnet mask to determine the network address to which the host is associated.
- When this ANDing between the address and the subnet mask is performed, the result yields the network address.
- 0+0 = 0
- 1+0 = 0
- 1+1 = 1
