Study Notes
OSI - Layer 3: IP Addressing
- IP addressing is fundamental for devices to communicate on a network
- Every connected device has a unique IP address
- Two main versions of IP addresses exist:
- IPv4: 32-bit address, represented as four decimal numbers separated by dots (e.g., 192.168.0.1)
- IPv6: 128-bit address, represented as groups of hexadecimal digits separated by colons (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334)
Learning Objectives
- Understand the structure and components of an IPv4 address
- Master IPv4 address classes
- Differentiate between public and private IP addresses
- Use CIDR notation to define subnets
- Apply subnetting to divide a network
Introduction
- IPv4 addresses identify every machine connected to a computer network
- IPv4 addresses consist of four octets, each with a decimal value between 0 and 255, separated by dots
- Example: 172.16.254.1
IPv4 Addresses
- A 32 bit address (4 bytes)
- Example: 172.16.254.1
- IPv4 addresses structure is divided into two parts:
- Network address: Identifies the network. Used to route data packets to the correct network
- Host address: Identifies the specific device on that network.
IP Address Classes
- IPv4 addresses are divided into classes (A, B, C, D, E)
- Classes A, B, and C are used for public networks
- Class A:
- Address range: 0.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255
- Use: Large organizations with many hosts on few networks
- Example address: 10.0.0.1 (network 10.0.0.0)
- Class B:
- Address range: 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255
- Use: Medium-sized organizations with moderate number of hosts
- Example address: 172.16.0.1 (network 172.16.0.0)
- Class C:
- Address range: 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255
- Use: Small networks with limited number of hosts
- Example address: 192.168.1.1 (network 192.168.1.0)
IP Address Classes (Advanced)
- Classes D (multicast), and E (reserved)
- Special Addresses:
- 127.0.0.1: Loopback address (localhost)
- 255.255.255.255: Limited broadcast address
- APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing): used when a DHCP server is unavailable
Subnet Mask
- Isolates bits that belong to the network part of an IP address
- Typically done using binary representation of the IP address and the subnet mask, performing a logical AND operation
- Determines the network and host portions
CIDR Notation
- Used to specify how many bits are reserved for the network part of an IP address
- Example: 10.80.96.11/22
Number of hosts in a Network
- Calculate the number of bits allocated for the host portion
- Calculates the number of usable IP addresses
- Calculate the usable IP addresses, Hosts IP range
Subnetting
- Dividing a network into smaller subnetworks by adjusting the subnet mask
- Optimizes the use of IP addresses
- Logically segments networks to manage traffic and security
IPv6 Addresses
- 128-bit address space
- Written in hexadecimal notation, separated by colons
- Example: 2001:0db8:00f4:0845:ea82:0627:e202:24fe
- Three types
- Unicast
- Multicast
- Anycast
- Various addressing schemes for private use
- Techniques to support coexistence between IPv4 and IPv6:
- Dual Stack
- Tunneling
- Address Translation (NAT64)
Conclusion
- IPv4 and IPv6, public vs private addresses, and subnetting are crucial for network administration
