What is the purpose of each class of IPv4 addresses?
to divide networks based on need of networks and hosts.
Class A: large number of hosts and small number of networks needed.
Class C: small number of hosts but large number of networks needed.
Class B: somewhere in the middle / balance of number networks and hosts needed.
Class D: multicast
Clkass E: experimental
What is the default subnet mask for a Class A, IPv4 address?
255.0.0.0
What is the default subnet mask for a Class B, IPv4 address?
255.255.0.0
What is the default subnet mask for a Class C IPv4 address?
255.255.255.0
How many bits are in a binary subnet mask?
32 bits
What is the purpose of a subnet mask?
What is the purpose of subnet mask?
A subnet mask is used to divide an IP address into two parts. One part identifies the host (computer), the other part identifies the network to which it belongs.
What is the formula for calculating subnets?
To calculate the number of possible subnets, use the formula 2n, where n equals the number of host bits borrowed. For example, if three host bits are borrowed, then n=3. 23 = 8, so eight subnets are possible if three host bits are borrowed.
