Host address

A

assigned to, and uniquely identifies, each machine on a network. This part of the address must be unique because it identifies a particular machine—an individual—as opposed to a network, which is a group

Q

255.255.255 is an example of what type of address? What is the target of the address?

A

Layer 3 Broadcast, all networks/all hosts

24
Q

How many addresses will IPv6 provide?

A

3.4 x 10^38

25
Q

How many bits is IPv6?

26
0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0
Equals ::. This is the equivalent of IPv4’s 0.0.0.0 and is typically the source address of a host when you’re using stateful configuration (DHCP).
27
0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1
Equals ::1. The equivalent of 127.0.0.1 in IPv4.
28
0:0:0:0:0:0:192.168.100.1
This is how an IPv4 address would be written in a mixed IPv6/ IPv4 network environment.
29
The global unicast address range in ipv6
2000::/3
30
The unique local unicast range in ipv6
FC00::/7
31
The link-local unicast range in ipv6
FE80::/10
32
The multicast range in ipv6
FF00::/8
33
Reserved for examples and documentation in ipv6
3FFF:FFFF::/32 and 2001:0DB8::/32
34
2002::/16
Used with 6to4, which is the transition system—the structure that allows IPv6 packets to be transmitted over an IPv4 network without the need to configure explicit tunnels
35
Class A Network Range
The IP range for a Class A network is 1 through 126. This | provides 8 bits of network addressing and 24 bits of host addressing by default
36
Class B Network Range
The IP range for a Class B network is 128 through 191. Class B addressing provides 16 bits of network addressing and 16 bits of host addressing by default.
37
Class C Network Range
The IP range for a Class C network is 192 through 223. Class | C addressing provides 24 bits of network addressing and 8 bits of host addressing by default
38
Class A Private IP Range
The Class A private address range is 10.0.0.0 through | 10.255.255.255.
39
Class B Private IP Range
The Class B private address range is 172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255
40
Class C Private IP Range
The Class C private address range is 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255.
41
How many bits is ipv4?
32 bits
42
ipv6 is represented in ____
Hex
43
ipv4 is represented in ____
decimal
44
Link-local ipv6 address
Link-local is like an IPv4 private IP address, but it can’t be routed at all, not even in your organization
45
Unique local ipv6 address
This, like link-local, is like a private IP address in IPv4 and cannot be routed to the Internet. However, the difference between link-local and unique local is that unique local can be routed within your organization or company
46
What is the valid range used for a class C private IP address?
Class C private range is 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255
47
Name some of the benefits of IPv6 over IPv4.
More available addresses, simpler header, options for authentication and other security
48
What is the term for the auto-configuration technology responsible for addresses that start with 169.254?
Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA)
49
What defines a unicast address?
An IP address assigned to an interface
50
What defines a multicast address?
One-to-many address
51
What is the name for a 48-bit (6-byte) numerical address physically assigned to a network interface, such as a NIC?
MAC address
52
What gives IPv6 the ability to reference more addresses than IPv4?
IPv6 has a 128 bit address (16 octet), compared to IPv4's 32-bit address (4-octet)
53
What is the Class C range of values for the first octet in decimal and in binary?
192-223, 110xxxxx
54
What is the private address range for class B networks?
172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255
55
What is the 127.0.0.1 address used for?
Loopback or diagnostics
