6.6 Flashcards
The function of connecting multiple computers to the Internet (or any other IP network) using one or multiple routable IP addresses.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
Which NAT type is designed to allow one-to-one mapping between local and global addresses?
Static NAT
Which NAT type gives you the ability to map an unregistered IP address to a registered address from a pool of registered IP addresses?
Dynamic NAT
What are some advantages of NAT?
- Enhanced level of security within the network by hiding its internal structure.
- Permits an almost unlimited number of users in a private network to access the Internet via a limited number of registered addresses.
- When an existing IP network is attached to the Internet, there is no need to replace the IP address of eacah and every device on the internal net.
Also referred to as overloading, uses a network device that translates multiple local addresses to a single global address by keeping track of port assignments.
Port Address Translation (PAT)
The successor to IPv4 providing 340 undecillion addresses that not onyl provides more addresses but also improves security by including IPsec.
IP version 6 (IPv6)
An organizational method by which routers are assigned to the subnets of top tier routers.
Aggregration
How long are IPv6 addresses?
128 bits (16 bytes) in length
What are the three categories of IPv6 addresses?
- Unicast
- Multicast
- Anycast
What type of IPv6 address uniquely identifies an interface of an IPv6 node?
Unicast address
What type of IPv6 address is a single IP data packet set that represents a network host group?
Multicast address
What type of IPv6 address are unicast addresses that are assigned to more than one interface and typically on different hosts?
Anycast address
What are three Unicast Address Types?
Link-local, global, and unique local
What type of Unicast Address are the equivalent of IPv4 APIPA addresses and used for temparary networks such as required for a testing environment or a quick connection between machines for transferring information?
Link-local unicast address
What is the address prefix for a link-local address?
FE80::/10
What represents a new standard for network inerface addressing where MAC addresses are extended to 64 bits?
64-bit Extended Unique Identifier (EUI-64)
