Q

what is a

network address

and how is it used

A

this is the address of a network

a host uses to determine whether it should use ARP to forward a message directly to a host on the same network or if it should send the message to its default gateway so that the message can be routed to a remote network

Q

how does a

subnet mask

determine the network portion and the host portion of an IP address

A
  • when this has a bit set to 1 then the bit in the same position in the IP address is part of the network portion
  • when this has a bit set to 0 then the bit in the same position in the IP address is part of the host portion

Q

what is

CIDR notation

A

this tells you how many bits are set to 1 in the subnet mask (i.e how many bits are representing the network portion of the IP address)

the notation consists of the ip address and then a forawrd slash at the end and a number telling you how many of the bits in the subnet mask are set to 1

example

IP: 192.168.1.0 /24

subnet: 1111 1111.1111 1111.1111 1111.0000 0000

50
Q
  1. The source host looks at the destination host IPv4 address
  2. It then uses the logical operation AND with the destination IPv4 and its own subnet mask to determine a network address
  3. If the network address matches its own network address it will use ARP to directly send the message
  4. Otherwise it will send the message to its default gateway to be routed to a remote network

how a host finds and uses a network address to determine how it will send the message

51
Q

these are blocks of reserved IP addresses that may only be used within a LAN.

55
Q

this is the modern approach to handing out or creating IP addresses and subnet masks

it mainly consists of creating a subnet mask depending on the number of hosts required. the benefit here is that the subnet mask can be any length meaning that all network addresses that are available within IPv4 can be used

A
