Study Notes
TCP/IP Overview
- TCP/IP is a network protocol to deliver data packets to computers, regardless of the network scale.
- It's a set of protocols that handle logical addressing, resolution between logical and physical addresses, name resolution, dynamic address assignment, efficient packet delivery, and packet sequencing.
TCP/IP Components
- TCP/IP is the default protocol on Windows, including both IPv4 and IPv6.
- Related protocols include DNS (Domain Name System), DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), UDP (User Datagram Protocol), IPv4, IPv6, ARP(Address Resolution Protocol), ICMP(Internet Control Message Protocol) and ICMPv6.
TCP/IP Communication
- Opening a webpage involves a DNS request to resolve the website name to an IP address.
- The client then checks if the website's address is on the same or a different network.
General Network Terms
- MAC address is a physical-layer address, integral to a network interface card (NIC).
- A frame is a formatted data unit ready for transfer to the network medium.
- A packet is the network layer data unit used by IPv4 and IPv6.
- A segment is the transport layer data unit used by TCP and UDP.
Role of TCP and UDP
- TCP or UDP headers provide information to determine the application receiving data.
- Port numbers within TCP and UDP are used to specify source and destination application-layer protocols.
- IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) assigns port numbers to well-known network services. Some applications use TCP, some UDP. A table lists common TCP/UDP port numbers and their corresponding applications.
IPv4 Addresses
- IP addresses are 32-bit numbers divided into four 8-bit octets (values from 0 to 255).
- Subnet masks are also 32-bit numbers. They determine how many bits are assigned to network IDs and host IDs.
IPv4 Addresses (Example)
- 192.168.14.250 = 11000000.10101000.0001110.11111010 in binary
- 255.255.255.0 = 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000 in binary
- 192.168.14.0 is the network ID, while 250 is the host ID in the given example.
Binary Math
- Subnet masks determine network IDs by performing logical AND operations between the IP address and subnet mask.
- AND operations on binary numbers yield these results: 0 AND 0 = 0; 1 AND 0 = 0; 0 AND 1 = 0; 1 AND 1 = 1
Binary Math (Example)
- 172.31.100.6 = 10101100.00011111.01100100.00000110
- 255.255.0.0 = 11111111.11111111.00000000.00000000
- 172.31.0.0 = 10101100.00011111.00000000.00000000 (The result of the AND operation.)
Converting Decimal to Binary
- Charts and directions are used in converting decimals to binary.
Converting Binary to Decimal
- Tables help convert 8-digit binary numbers.
IPv4 Address Classes
- IP addresses are categorized into classes A through E.
- Only classes A, B, and C are for host assignment.
- Different octet values define different classes (e.g., Class A: first octet between 1 and 127; Class B: first octet between 128 and 191; Class C: first octet between 192 and 223).
Private IP Addresses
- Unique IP addresses are needed for TCP/IP and the Internet.
- Private IP addresses are reserved for networks not directly accessible via the internet.
- Examples of reserved IP address ranges include Class A addresses beginning with 10, Class B addresses from 172.16 to 172.31, and Class C addresses from 192.168.0 to 192.168.255.
Private IP Addresses (Link-local Addresses)
- Link-local addresses are another type of private IP address.
- They are automatically assigned when a computer is configured for DHCP but no DHCP service is available.
- The range is 169.254.1.0 through 169.254.254.255, with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
- NAT enables organizations to use private IP addresses while connected to the Internet.
- NAT translates a workstation's private address into a valid public Internet address.
Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR)
- CIDR uses IP addresses without default subnet masks.
- CIDR notation uses the format A.B.C.D/n, where n is the number of 1 bits in the subnet mask. (Example: 172.31.210.10/24)
Broadcast Domains
- A broadcast domain specifies devices that must receive a broadcast packet sent by another device on the network. Broadcast packets are addressed to all computers on the network.
- TCP/IP heavily relies on broadcast packets. DHCP and ARP use broadcasts in their tasks.
Subnetting
- Subnetting reallocates bits from an IP address's host portion to the network portion to create multiple, smaller address spaces.
- Reasons include dividing large networks into smaller ones and conserving IP addresses.
- The formula for calculating the number of subnets is 2n, where n is the number of bits reallocated.
Calculating Subnet Masks
- Calculating subnet masks allows for determining available host bits for assignment on each subnet; use the formula 2n-2.
A Pattern Emerges
- Example calculations of subnetwork numbers and addresses in binary
Determining Host Addresses
- Table showing beginning and ending host addresses in binary and decimal format.
Another Subnet Mask Example
- Example network with subnets for different locations and purposes.
Supernetting
- Supernetting consolidates smaller subnets into larger supernets to simplify routing and fix network configuration problems.
Configuring IPv4 Addresses
- Rules for IP address assignment: Subnet masks are required, hosts on the same physical network share the same network ID within their IP addresses, host IDs within the same network must be unique, and invalid IP addresses can't be assigned using all 0s or all 1s in the host ID bits section.
Configuring Multiple IP Addresses
- Windows allows configuring multiple IP addresses on a single network connection.
- This can be useful in cases where a computer hosts services accessible through different addresses or when the computer belongs to multiple physical networks.
Configuring Default Gateway
- A default gateway is crucial for IP configurations.
- The gateway shares the same network ID as the host's network ID. Multiple gateways can exist.
Using Multihomed Servers
- Multihomed servers have multiple network interface cards (NICs), each connected to a different IP network. Each NIC needs its own IP address assigned to the network it is connected to.
- Rationale for multi-homed server configuration: Servers can be accessed by internal and external clients. They provide resources to multiple subnets, and they can be configured as routers or VPN servers.
Using the route Command
- Windows computers store a routing table mapping destination addresses to their respective routes.
- The command "route print" displays the routing table, which contains columns for Network Destination, Netmask, Gateway, Interface, and Metric.
IP Configuration Command-Line Tools
- Other command-line tools help with IP configurations: netsh, PowerShell cmdlets, ipconfig, ping, arp, tracert, and nslookup.
Using netsh
- The netsh utility allows displaying and modifying the network configuration of a computer.
- Using commands within netsh to configure IP address and DNS server settings for a specified interface.
Using PowerShell Cmdlets
- PowerShell cmdlets enable viewing and configuring IP addresses:
Get-NetIPConfigurationshows IP configuration information,Get-NetIPAddressprovides detailed IP address configurations for a specified interface,Set-NetIPInterfaceconfigures DHCP client settings, andSet-DnsClientServerAddressspecifies DNS server addresses.
Using ipconfig
-
ipconfigdisplays IP address settings and can perform other tasks depending on the options used. (/all,/release,/renew,/displaydns,/flushdns, and/registerdns.)
Using ping
-
pingtests connectivity by sending ICMP Echo Request packets. - If the destination responds, an ICMP Echo Reply is sent. Example:
Reply from 192.168.100.201 bytes=32 time=<1ms TTL=128
Using arp
-
arpdisplays or changes entries in the ARP cache, and can be used to add or delete static ARP entries. (-a, or-gfor displaying entries.-dfor deleting entries.-sfor adding static entries.)
Using tracert
-
"trace route"displays the route packets take between two computers. - Sends packets with increasing TTL values until a destination is reached. Useful to test routing topologies of networks and to find bottlenecks.
Using nslookup
-
nslookupis used to test and troubleshoot DNS operation. It works in command mode or interactive mode. Querying in interactive mode to get a host's address.
IPv6 Overview
- IPv6 is replacing IPv4 due to its expanding address space.
- Several improvements, such as larger addresses, hierarchical address space, automatic configuration, and support for quality of service, security, and mobility.
IPv6 Address Structure
- IPv6 addresses use 128 bits instead of IPv4's 32 bits.
- They are represented as eight hexadecimal numbers separated by colons. Example includes: "Fe80:0:0:0:18ff:0024:8e5a:60"
Transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6
- Dual IP layer architecture enables IPv4 and IPv6 to coexist and communicate using native packet types.
- Technologies such as IPv6-over-IPv4 tunneling, ISATAP, 6to4, and Teredo facilitate this transition.
IPv6-over-IPv4 Tunneling
- Tunneling is the technique of encapsulating an incompatible packet within a compatible header for network transmission in a different architecture.
- IPv6-over-IPv4 tunneling allows IPv6 packets to be sent over IPv4 networks to IPv6 devices (use of tunneling.) Examples include IP protocol options, encapsulating frames, and using tunneling protocols.
Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Advertising Protocol (ISATAP)
- Used for transmitting IPv6 packets between dual IP layer hosts across IPv4 networks. Enabled by default on Windows Server 2012/R2.
6to4 Tunneling
- Automatically tunnels IPv6 traffic over IPv4 networks.
- This is frequently used to create router-to-router tunnels.
Teredo Tunneling
- Solves the problem of 6to4's requirement for a public IPv4 address.
- Allows IPv6-over-IPv4 tunneling to traverse NAT routers.
Summary
- TCP/IP is a network protocol for delivering data packets on any network. IPv4 and IPv6 are installed on Windows Server 2012/R2.
- IPv4 addresses are 32-bit dotted decimals broken into four octets. CIDR notation uses A.B.C.D/n; n is the subnet mask's 1-bit count.
- Subnetting divides large networks into smaller ones using modified subnet masks. Supernetting reallocates bits from the network portion of an IP address to the host portion.
- Various command-line tools—ping, ipconfig, arp, tracert, nslookup—assist in checking and troubleshooting IP configurations.
- IPv6 uses a 128-bit address format represented by eight 16-bit hexadecimal values separated by colons.
- Methods for transition to IPv6 include using dual IP architecture, IPv6-over-IPv4 tunneling, Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP), 6to4, and Teredo tunneling.
