    Study Notes

    IPv4 Addressing Fundamentals

    • IPv4 addresses are 32-bit binary numbers, divided into four octets (e.g., 192.168.1.1).
    • These addresses have a network portion (identifying the network) and a host portion (identifying the device).
    • A subnet mask defines the boundary between network and host portions (e.g., /24 equals 255.255.255.0).

    Address Types

    • Unicast: One-to-one communication.
    • Broadcast: One-to-all communication (e.g., 255.255.255.255).
    • Multicast: One-to-a-group communication (e.g., 224.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255).

    IPv4 Address Categories

    • Public Addresses: Routable on the internet.
    • Private Addresses: Not routable externally; used internally within a network. Example ranges include: 10.0.0.0/8; 172.16.0.0/12; 192.168.0.0/16.
    • Special Use Addresses: Examples include:
      • Loopback (127.0.0.0/8): For testing local network stack.
      • Link-Local (169.254.0.0/16): Automatically assigned if DHCP fails.
      • Test-Net (192.0.2.0/24): Reserved for educational purposes.

    IPv4 Address Classes

    • Class A: Large networks (0.0.0.0 - 127.255.255.255)
    • Class B: Medium networks (128.0.0.0 - 191.255.255.255)
    • Class C: Small networks (192.0.0.0 - 223.255.255.255)

    CIDR and Subnetting

    • CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing): Allows flexible subnetting using prefixes (e.g., /20) instead of fixed classes.
    • Subnetting: Divides a large network into smaller sub-networks to optimize IP address usage.

    ICMP and Connectivity Verification

    • ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol): Used for diagnostic tools like ping and traceroute. Common ICMP messages include host confirmation, destination unreachable, and time exceeded.
    • Testing Tools:
      • Ping: Tests connectivity to local and remote hosts.
      • Traceroute: Displays the route packets take and delays encountered along the route.

    Conversions and Calculations

    • Binary to Decimal: Convert each bit to its equivalent power of 2 and sum.
    • Decimal to Binary: Repeatedly subtract the highest power of 2 possible from the decimal number.

    Practical Usage

    • Static IP: Fixed IP for devices like servers or printers.
    • Dynamic IP: Automatically assigned by DHCP. Lease expiration applies.

    Study Focus

    • Subnet mask and prefix calculation: A critical understanding.
    • Address type differentiation: Distinguish between public, private, unicast, broadcast, and multicast addresses.
    • Hands-on practice with ping and traceroute: Essential for practical application.
    • Subnetting for optimized IP allocation: Core concept of IP address management.
