Study Notes

Logical Addressing

  • IP addresses and MAC addresses are crucial for data communication
  • Assume two networks with devices A, B, C in one and X, Y, Z in the other
  • To send data from A to Y, the IP address of Y is first determined
  • IP addresses are logical and may change when moving to another network
  • MAC addresses are physical and remain constant across networks
  • IP addresses are assigned by ISPs mathematically (not random)
  • The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) manages IP address assignment
  • IP Version 4 (IPv4) uses a 32-bit address, four numbers (octets) separated by dots (e.g., 172.166.3.28)
  • IP Version 6 (IPv6) is the newer version, using 128 bits, expressed in hexadecimal (e.g., 3221:1cd7:74b6:6da7:0000:0000:7349:6472)
  • MAC addresses (Media Access Control) uniquely identify network interface controllers (NICs)
  • MAC addresses are 48 bits long and not routed between networks, typically expressed in hexadecimal with colons (e.g., 2C:54:91:88:C9:E3)

IP Address Types

  • Two main types of IP addresses (public and private)
  • Public addresses are used for communication outside the local network (external IP address)
  • Private addresses are used within the local network
  • A static IP address remains constant, while a dynamic IP address changes over time
  • Dynamic addresses are usually assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server
  • Static addresses are assigned manually or through a configuration protocol and do not change

IP Address Structure

  • IP addresses are composed of four numbers, each ranging from 0 to 255 (e.g., 192.158.1.38)
  • The IP address has two parts: the network ID (e.g., 192.168.1) and host ID (e.g., 32)
  • Each number in an IP address is an octet (byte)

IP Address Classes

  • IP addresses are categorized into classes A, B, C, D, and E (different ranges/size for different purposes)
  • Class A, B, and C addresses are commonly used on networks, while classes D and E are for specific use cases
  • Different classes support varying numbers of networks and hosts

Subnetting

  • Subnetting allows dividing a large network into smaller sub-networks
  • It is done by adjusting the host ID portion of the IP address to increase the network ID
  • This is done by modifying the subnet mask (e.g., 255.255.255.0) to allocate and manage multiple networks
