Chapter 1 Flashcards
What is the most widely used IP addressing scheme?
IPv4 [3]
What is the most recent and largest address space IP addressing scheme?
IPv6 [5]
To distribute IP addresses automatically, a network administrator would configure the what service?
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) [9]
The first attempt at breaking up IP address space used what to provide address ranges of differing sizes?
classful addressing [3]
Prior to the introduction of the Domain Name System, computers used what to map human-readable named to IP addresses?
HOSTS files [6]
What is used to separate the host address portion of an IP address from the network address?
subnet mask [2]
The subnet mask within the TCP/IP configuration is used to distinguish what from the host address?
network address [2]
In dotted-decimal notation, each IPv4 address is broken up into four?
octets [5]
Server computers and other systems that need to be accessed reliably by network clients should be configured with?
static IP address [9]
The method of breaking up IP address space into address ranges of flexible size is called?
Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) [4]
What must each host on a TCP/IP network be configured with in order to communicate with other hosts?
IP address [2]
What is the process of transmitting TCP/IP traffic from one IP subnet to another?
Routing [13]
An IP network that is formatted such as 192.168.1.0/24 is referred to as what type of notation?
CIDR notation [4]
What is the default network protocol of the Internet and most modern corporate networks?
TCP/IP [2]
What was used by TCP/IP networks to perform name resolution prior to the introduction of the Domain Name System (DNS)?
HOSTS files [6]
What is the process of dividing a large TCP/IP address space into multiple smaller networks called?
Subnetting [4]
What technology is used by private network ranges that has extended the useful life of IPv4 addressing and slowed the adoption rate of IPv6?
NAT [4]
Which TCP/IP configuration item allows client computers to communicate with other computers that are located on remote networks?
Default gateway [2]
On a TCP/IP network that uses the Domain Name System (DNS) for name resolution, what unique configuration item must each TCP/IP host possess?
Fully qualified domain name [8]
In what format are IPv4 IP addresses most commonly written?
Dotted-decimal [5]
What is the Class A Private Address Range?
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 [5]
What is the Class B Private Address Range?
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 [5]
What is the Class C Private Address Range?
- 254.0.0 - 169.254.255.255
192. 168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 [5]
What is the loopback address in IPv4?
127.0.0.1 [5]
What is the loopback address in IPv6?
::1 [5]
.com, .net, .org, .edu are all what type of Domain Names?
Generic Top-Level Domain Names [8]
