Network+ Flashcards
IP4 address can play one of of three roles
host (assignable addresses), broadcast address (comes at the end of IP address), NetID (beginning of IP address). one at a time
IPv4 has what kind of notation?
octet 3 decimal-dots. 8 bits of information
IPv6
hexadecimal. 8 groups of 16 bits= 128 bit address. seperated by colons not decimals
Internet Engineering Task force
given rules to check out and put forward to request for comments
DNS
Domain name server. changes names to IP addresses
hardware address
physical address. hard-coded into the Network Interface Card
what are the 3 different types of NAT?
Dynamic NAT, Port address, and…
what is a Dynamic NAT?
7 different public addressses for computers to share in a network
What is a Port Address Translation?
IP + Port numbers distinguish the differences of computers from a private network. 1 IP address
Multicast
selected devices, not everyone. more than two devices
Unicast
single device to single device
Broadcast
every device. stays local
how to find the loop back address for IPv6?
every piece of IP address. 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1
how does a host get an IP address?
static or dynamic host configuration protocol
decimal to binary?
subtraction
binary to decimal?
addition
decimal to hexadecimal
decimal>binary>hex
subnet mask
a string of 1’s and then 0’s. 255’s and some other number. the 1’s are the network portion and cannot change
find the number of hosts
(2^n)-2 where n is the number of 0’s. start writing numbers from the right.
make a custom subnet mask
determine a default subnet mask first. turn bits on from the left until the requirement is met. start writing 0’s from left and figure out the number of 1’s
default subnet mask
default nature of each class. a combination of 255’s and 0’s
stateless autoconfiguration
change MAC address into an IP address. add fffe in the middle of the second characters, then change 7th bit to either a 1 or a 0
APIPA
link local address. automatic supply IP addressing. no access to internet. failsafe for local communication. used if static address and DHCP take too long to establish
Tesnet
a choice for local communication
IPv6 types of IP
unicast, global unicast address (multicast), anycast (one to one of many)
borrowed bits
the extra 1’s past the default
VLSM
variable length subnet mask. individual masks that get as close to the requirement as possible. is not as wasteful as subnetting
