Study Notes
Module Objectives of IPv4 Addressing
- Objective includes calculating an IPv4 subnetting scheme for network segmentation.
IPv4 Address Structure
- Comprises a 32-bit hierarchical address divided into network and host portions.
- Subnet masks are utilized to differentiate between network and host portions.
- ANDing is used by network devices to define network and host addresses.
Types of IPv4 Addresses
- There are three types: unicast, broadcast, and multicast, each serving distinct purposes.
- Public IP addresses are globally routable, while private IP addresses belong to predefined ranges and are used in internal networks.
- Certain reserved IPv4 addresses are not routable but allocated for special use within networks.
Network Segmentation
- Subnetting decreases large broadcast domains, enhancing communication efficiency.
- Subnets can be formed from host bits, ideally at octet boundaries of /8, /16, and /24 for ease.
- Variable Length Subnet Masking (VLSM) minimizes unused host addresses in subnets.
Logical AND in Networking
- A logical AND operation helps determine the network address by comparing host IP and subnet mask bit by bit.
- Only the combination of two '1's yields '1'; all other combinations yield '0'.
Determining Addresses
- Network addresses, broadcast addresses, first usable hosts, and last usable hosts need to be identified during address planning.
Subnetting Examples
- For a /16 prefix, multiple subnetting scenarios exist based on subnet masks, allowing varying numbers of subnets and hosts:
- /17 yields 2 subnets, 32766 hosts.
- /18 yields 4 subnets, 16382 hosts.
- Continued down to /30, which yields 16384 subnets but only 2 usable hosts.
Subnetting for Enterprises
- An enterprise requiring 100 subnets from a 172.16.0.0/16 address must borrow 7 bits to achieve 128 subnets.
- An ISP needing 1000 subnets from a 10.0.0.0/8 network must borrow 10 bits, resulting in 1024 subnets.
