Lesson 10: Configuring IPv5 and IPv6 Addressing Flashcards
Length of IPv4 in bits
32 bits
Subnet mask
a second 32 bit value of 1 and zeros used to determine’s which bits in an IP address refer to the host and which refer to the network
Class A Network: First octet
0 - 127
Class B Network: First octet
128 - 191
Class C Network: First octet
192 - 223
Class A Network: Number of networks, number of hosts per network
Networks: 125
Hosts: > 16 million
Class B Network: Number of networks, number of hosts per network
Networks: > 16,000
Hosts: > 65,000
Class C Network: Number of networks, number of hosts per network
Networks: > 2 million
Hosts: 254
CIDR
Classless inter-domain routing.
Allows for subnet mask that are of any acceptable value, dividing the host and network portions of the IP at any number
ICANN
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
RIR
Regional Internet Registries – Assigned blocks of IPs by region.
Class A private netowork block
10.0.0.0/8
Class B Private network blcok
172.16.0.0/12
Class C Private network block
192.168.0.0/16
NAT
Network Address Translation
NAT routers modifies IP packets to change IP address of sender to its own public address with an identifying port
Proxy server versus NAT
Proxy servers function at the application layer, forwarding traffic to specific destinations.
NAT functions at the network layer
Functions of a proxy server not necessarily provided by a NAT router
Filtering
Logging
Caching
Scanning
Superneting
Combing contiguous networks that all contain a common CIDR prefix into one network address with one CIDR prefix, for replacing multiple entries in the routing table with just one.
3 ways to assign an IPv4 address
DHCP
APIPA
Manual config
APIPA IP block
169.254.0.0/16
How does a PC performing APIPA assignment know its selected IP is not in use by anyone but it?
Does an ARP request
Length of IPv6
128 bits
Number of IPv6 addresses available per square meter of the earth (for fun)
54 million
