Module 2 Review Exam

The portion of an IP address that identifies the specific network.

The unique identifier for a device within a specific network.

Indicates that the first 24 bits are the network part of the IP address.

A /24 subnet can support 254 unique usable IP addresses for hosts.

A globally unique IP assigned to devices for internet communication.

Addresses used within a local network, not routable on the public internet.

A technique allowing private IP addresses to communicate outside their network.

Every public IP address is unique across the entire internet.

A network topology where all devices are interconnected, allowing high reliability but limited scalability.

A network topology where some devices are connected to all others, promoting scalability but with fewer direct connections.

A network configuration that combines multiple topology types to optimize performance and reliability.

The movement of data packets within a network, involving sources, destinations, and routing.

Data movement between clients (end devices) and servers, typically moving from edge to core.

Data movement between devices within the same data center or network segment.

Small units of data transmitted across a network, containing the information to be sent.

The ability of a network to continue operating despite the failure of one or more components.

A binary number composed of exactly eight digits, including leading zeros.

A binary number with precisely four digits, including leading zeros.

A base 16 numeral system using symbols 0-9 and A-F to represent values.

Transform each hex digit into a 4-bit binary equivalent.

Group binary digits into 4 bits and convert each group to a hex digit.

A 48-bit unique identifier for network devices, often shown in hexadecimal.

Leading zeros maintain the fixed length of binary numbers to avoid confusion.

The identification method using MAC addresses to distinguish devices on a network.

Minimum number of subnetworks needed, in this case, 10.

Extra bits taken from the host portion to create more subnets.

A method for IP address allocation and network routing optimizing flexibility.

Old method of dividing IP addresses into fixed classes (A, B, C).

Specific IP addresses reserved for private networks, not routable on the internet.

The optimization of directing data packets in a network to reduce overhead.

Allows subnets of different sizes using various subnet mask lengths.

The document that defines the private address ranges for IPv4 networks.

Specific address ranges designated for private networks, such as 192.168.x.x and 10.x.x.x.

A web server may have an IP like 203.0.113.10 allowing global access.

Using private IP addresses helps reduce the depletion of public IPs.

Devices in a home network often use the 192.168.x.x address range.

An IPv6 address consists of a network prefix and an interface ID, totaling 128 bits.

The network prefix, or ID, identifies a specific subnet and has a variable length specified in CIDR notation.

The interface ID uniquely identifies an interface on a host, determined by subtracting the prefix length from 128 bits.

Globally unique and routable addresses on the IPv6 internet, starting with the prefix 2000::/3.

Addresses used for communication within a single network segment, starting with the prefix fe80::/10.

Classless Inter-Domain Routing notation indicates the length of the network prefix in bits.

Traffic sent from one specific host to another specific host.

A method to send a packet to multiple hosts, replacing IPv4 broadcast addresses.
