Study Notes
IPv4 Addressing
- An IPv4 address consists of a network/subnet portion and a host portion, essential for identifying devices in a network.
- Devices within the same subnet must share identical network/subnet portions to communicate directly.
- The communication process involves a DNS lookup for the target IP address, prompting devices to confirm subnet membership before direct communication.
Subnet Membership Determination
- Subnet membership is confirmed by comparing binary representations of IP addresses and subnet masks.
- Mismatches in subnet portions prompt communication through a default gateway instead of directly.
Issues with Incorrect Subnet Masks
- An incorrect subnet mask can cause connectivity issues, as seen when PC1 fails to recognize PC2 as part of the same subnet despite being connected.
- Understanding and verifying the correct subnet mask is crucial for ensuring proper IP addressing and connectivity.
Static Routes
- Static routes require manual configuration and enable routing of packets between different subnets.
- Routers rely on longest match algorithms to determine the most specific route for packet forwarding.
Proxy ARP
- Proxy ARP allows routers to respond to ARP requests with their MAC addresses if they have a route to the requested IP address, enabling communication across different subnets.
- Proxy ARP is enabled by default on routers, facilitating seamless connectivity in specific scenarios.
Troubleshooting
- Structured troubleshooting processes are essential for resolving reported problems related to IPv4 addressing and routing.
- Familiarization with commands like
show ip route,show ip interface, andshow ip dhcp bindingcan aid in troubleshooting.
Key Terms
- DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, automatically assigns IP addresses to devices.
- SLAAC: Stateless address autoconfiguration, enables IPv6 devices to self-configure IP addresses without a DHCP server.
- DORA Process: The four-step process (Discover, Offer, Request, Acknowledge) for DHCP operation.
- ARP: Address Resolution Protocol, maps IP addresses to MAC addresses.
- CIDR: Classless Inter-Domain Routing, notation for IP addressing (e.g., /24).
Command Reference
ipconfig: Displays IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for a Windows PC.show ip interface: Displays various IP-related parameters for a router interface.show ip dhcp conflict: Identifies any IP address conflicts a DHCP server encounters.show ip dhcp binding: Displays IP addresses assigned by a DHCP server along with their MAC addresses and lease details.
