Study Notes
Private IP Address Ranges
- Class C private IP address range: 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
- Class B private IP address range: 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
IPv6 Benefits
- More address availability due to larger address space
- Simplified header design enhances efficiency
- Built-in options for authentication and improved security measures
Autoconfiguration Technology
- Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) enables self-configuration of IP addresses starting with 169.254
Address Types
- Unicast address: Assigned to a single network interface for one-to-one communication
- Multicast address: Facilitates one-to-many communication, allowing data to be sent to multiple recipients simultaneously
MAC Address
- A MAC address, or hardware address, is a 48-bit (6-byte) identifier assigned to a network interface card (NIC)
Addressing Capability
- IPv6 uses 128-bit (16-octet) addresses, significantly surpassing IPv4’s 32-bit (4-octet) addresses, allowing for a vastly increased number of unique addresses
Class C Address Values
- First octet values for Class C range from 192 to 223, represented in binary as 110xxxxx
Loopback Address
- The address 127.0.0.1 serves as a loopback address, used primarily for diagnostics and testing purposes within a device.
