IP Addressing Flashcards
ipv4
32 bits
4-bit octets
subnet mask
defines network portion network = 1 = 255 host = 0 ex: 1.2.3.4 w/ 255.255.255.0 network = 1.2.3 host = 4
class a
first octet: 1-126
255.0.0.0
/8
class b
first octet: 128-191
255.255.0.0
/16
class c
first octet: 192-223
255.255.255.0
/24
class d
first octet: 224-239
n/a
n/a
private ips
used by anyone
not routable outside network
class a: 10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255 class b: 172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255 class c: 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255
nat
network address translation
allows for routing of private ips through a public ip
how most home networks work
loopback ip
ipv4 127.0.0.0/8
ipv6 ::1/128
apipa
automatic private ip addresses
dynamically assigned by os when dhcp server is unavailable
169.254.0.0/16
vip/vipa
virtual ip/address
ip that does not correlate to an actual physical network interface
subinterfaces
virtual interface that is created by dividing up one physical interface into multiple logical interfaces
unicast
ipv4 and ipv6
data travels from a single source to single destination
multicast
ipv4 and ipv6
data travels from a single source to multiple but specific destinations
broadcast
just ipv4
data travels from a single source to all devices on a destination network
