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.
