A

When processing each packet

60
Q

Segment of local network

A

Local networks are divided into segments, each segment is assigned its range of IP addresses which are determined by the network IP address and mask. If we refer to a “network” in the context of addressing, we mean that it is a network defined by network IP address and mask and that it is a single segment of the local network. Connecting devices in each network segment are hubs and switches. Segments are connected with routers

61
Q

64
Q

What is routing?

A

This is a packet forwarding mechanism between individual local network segments based on a routing table

65
Q

How to use mask to get the network address and the rest IP addresses?

A

The bits in the IP address that correspond to the positions of binary ones in the mask are the network address and the rest of the IP address is the interface address in that network

66
Q

Why do we need the splitting of address space?

A

If the entire address space were monolithic, it would be a huge burden for network administrators, also if the network was not splitted, broadcast would be delivered to all interfaces throughout the address space (over 4 billion interfaces)

67
Q

How can DNS convert the name address to IP address?

A

By the other domain name servers or by using its database

68
Q

3 link layer protocols

A

Ethernet, frame delay, HDLS

69
Q

ARP protocol

A

ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) finds the binding between IP address and MAC address. The protocol helps to find out what is the MAC address of the interface when we know its IP address. ARP sends a data frame with a message that contains the query: “Who has IP address 10.0.0.2?” and as the destination MAC address broadcast is used, so the frame is delivered to all interfaces in the current segment. The interface that has this IP address responds and thus reveals its MAC address (each data frame has its source and destination MAC address).

70
Q

What is the destination MAC address of the ARP message?

A

Broadcast MAC address

71
Q

Must the default gateway be marked for routing algorithms?

96
Q

Example of pure software network interface

A

Virtual network adapter in combination with a network tunnel; or loopback

97
Q

What address we use to communicate within one local network?

A

MAC address

98
Q

How does assigning of IP address happen?

A

Network interface, which is connected to the network without configuration knows only its MAC address. Using MAC broadcast it sends discover message, which means a search for the presence of DHCP server. If server responds, client sends a request for IP address. Server sneds a message with assigned IP address and a period of validity for that address. After this time, DHCP client should ask for a new one (but it is not his obligation).

99
Q

Tell me about bytes of MAC address

A

The first three bytes is unique for each manufacturer and can be uniquely identified in each MAC address. The second three bytes is unique to each network interface manufactured by one manufacturer. Altogether, both parts form a unique worldwide address, so collisions caused by address matching cannot happen under standard local networking conditions

100
Q

What is a default gateway?

A

The default gateway is the IP address of the router that is on the way to the Internet or the larger network

101
Q

A

Physical layer

124
Q

What is the difference between public and private IP addresses?

A

Public are used within the Internet, private in local networks

125
Q

What can we use to connect LAN and WAN?

A

Network address translation(NAT)

126
Q

What is the destination of MAC address of ARP request and why?

A

In an ARP request, the destination MAC address is set to the broadcast address FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. Since the ARP requester does not know the MAC address of the target device, it uses the broadcast address to ensure that all devices on the local network receive the request

127
Q

When is ARP protocol called or when the record is added to ARP table?

A

ARP protocol is called when a device needs to find the MAC address corresponding to an IP table, joins a network or a devise changes its IP or MAC address. The record is added to ARP table when the ARP reply is received

128
Q

133
Q

In which situation we will need default gateway and DNS?

A

Default Gateway: Required for routing traffic to networks outside the local subnet, such as accessing the internet or communicating with devices on different subnets
DNS Server: Required for translating domain names to IP addresses

134
Q

Does user before communication starts need to know MAC addresses of other interfaces connected to the same segment?

A

No, the user or the device does not need to know the MAC addresses of other interfaces connected to the same network segment before communication starts. The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) handles the discovery of MAC addresses dynamically.

135
Q

Does user before communication starts need to know IP addresses of other interfaces connected to the same segment?

A

No, the user does not need to know the IP addresses of other devices connected to the same network segment before communication starts. However, the device initiating communication typically needs the IP address of the target device to establish communication

136
Q

Why do we need to specify an output interface when using the ping utility?

A

When using the ping utility, specifying an output interface might be necessary in certain situations to ensure that the ICMP Echo Request packets are sent through the correct network interface

137
Q

Does the user need to know the IPv6 addresses of the other interfaces before starting communication in the LAN segment?

A

The user generally needs to know the IPv6 address of the target device to initiate communication

138
Q

Does the user need to manually configure IPv6 addresses to communicate in the LAN segment?

A

Manual configuration of IPv6 addresses is not necessary due to SLAAC and DHCPv6, which allow devices to automatically configure their own IPv6 addresses

139
Q
