Ch. 4 Fundamentals Of IPv4 Addressing And Routing Flashcards
Addresses used to identify a packets source and destination host computer, addressing rules also organize addresses into groups which greatly assist the writing process
IP addressing
The process of hosts and routers forwarding IP packets (layer 3 PDUs) while relying on the underlying LANs and WANs to forward the bits
IP routing
Protocol that aids routers by dynamically learning about IP address groups so that the router knows where to route IP packets so that they go to the right destination host
IP routing protocol
The network layer also relies on other utilities for TCP/IP the utility’s include domain name system (DNS) address resolution protocol (ARP) and ping
Other utilities
DNS
Domain name system
ARP
Address resolution protocol
IP focuses on the job of
Routing data
IP does not concern itself with
The physical transmission of data
IP relies on ______ ______ ______to do the physical transmission of the data
Lower TCP/IP layers
IP concerns itself with _____ _____ instead of physical details of delivering data
Logical details
Routers and end user computers called _____ in a TCP/IP network work together to perform IP routing
Hosts
The term _____ ______ is sometimes used to refer the routing process, at other times it refers to the routing protocols specifically how routing protocols select the best route among the competing routes to the same destination
Path selection
The default router is also referred to as
The default gateway
The table that lists IP address groupings is called
IP routing table
IP address groupings are made up of____ and _____
IP networks and IP subnets
The _____ ______ layer adds the appropriate header and trailer to the packet creating a frame before sending the frames over each physical network
Data link
______ dynamically learns the data link address of an IP’s host connected to a LAN
ARP (address resolution protocol)
How does a router determine which data at link address to use
Via ARP
What are the two main topics routing has covered so far
Forwarding Layer 3 packets also known as PDU
Encapsulating layer 3 packets in the later 2 frames for Transmission
____ defines network layer addresses that identify any host or router interface That connect to a TCP/IP network
IP
TCP/IP groups IP addresses together so that IP addresses used on the same physical network are part of the same group, these groups are known as _____ or ______
IP network or an IP subnet
Network layer protocols group addresses both by their _____ and by the actual_____ ______
Location
Address values
Hosts need to know the IP address of their ______ ______ so that hosts can send packets to promote destiny
Default router
Routers need to know ______ so that routers know how to forward packets to each and every IP networking IP subnet
Routes
Most network engineers enable a _______ _______ on all their routers. When enabled within a TCP/IP network with the correct settings routers send messages to each other and learn all the IP networks and subnets for the TCP/IP internetwork
Routing protocol
What is the most important topic for the CCENT and CCNA exams
IPv4
If the device want to communicate using TCP/IP it needs an _____ _____
IP address
When a device has an IP address and appropriate software and hardware it can send and receive _____ _____
IP packets
Any device that has at least one interface with an IP address can send and receive IP packets and it’s called an ____ ____
IP host
IP addresses consist of a ____ _____ number usually written and dotted decimal notation DDN
32-bit
How many bits are in a byte
8
Each DDN has four decimal ____ separated by periods
Octets
The term octet is just a vendor neutral term for
A byte
The range of decimal numbers and each octet is between ___ and ___
0 and 255
Each network interface uses a unique
IP address
If a laptop has both an ethernet network interface card NIC and a wireless NIC with both working at the same time at the same time both will have an_____ _____
IP address
The original specifications for TCP/IP group IP addresses into sets of consecutive addresses called. _____ ____
IP networks
The addresses in a single IP network have the same ______ ______ in the first part of all addresses in the network
Numeric value
All IP addresses in the same group must not be separate from each other by a
Router
