Study Notes

Understanding CIDR, DHCP, and DNS

  • CIDR allows flexible network configuration by using variable-length subnet masking
  • CIDR notations like /8 through /15 are only used with Class A network addresses, /16 through /23 with Class A and B, and /24 through /30 with Class A, B, and C
  • CIDR provides flexibility in configuring networks by allowing subnetting to efficiently allocate IP addresses
  • DHCP dynamically provides IP configuration information to clients, including IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server address
  • DHCP uses leases to provide temporary configuration to client computers
  • Static IP addressing requires manual configuration for each host and is administratively intensive compared to DHCP
  • Some network devices like routers and servers require static IP addresses for consistent access
  • DHCP reservations allow the DHCP server to assign the same IP address to a specific MAC address
  • DNS resolves hostnames to IP addresses, enabling easy access to resources like websites
  • DNS servers store hostname-to-IP-address pairs in a database
  • DNS works the same way on both the Internet and intranets, enabling easy access to resources within local networks
  • DNS servers can query other DNS servers to resolve hostnames if they do not have the required information

Private IP Addresses and Network Address Translation (NAT)

  • DNS servers help find specific servers, not just websites
  • Public IP addresses must be purchased and are unique on the Internet
  • TCP/IP growth led to a shortage of public IP addresses
  • Private addresses were created for use within private networks only
  • Network Address Translation (NAT) translates private IP addresses into public ones
  • Three ranges reserved for private, nonroutable IP addresses
  • Default subnet masks for private IP address ranges differ from address class masks
