Section 1.4 Flashcards
How many bits are in a byte?
8
Why is binary called a binary?
Because a binary number uses 2 numbers, 0 and 1
Why is decimal called decimal?
Because a decimal number uses 10 numbers, 0 through 9
What’s another term for a byte in an IP address
An octet
How many octets are in an IPv4 address?
4
What is the RFC 1918?
They are IP address ranges reserved for private use
What ranges of IP addresses are in the RFC 1918?
10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255
NAT
Network Address Translation
How does NAT work?
It converts a private IP address into a public one and vice versa
PAT
Port Address Translation
How does PAT work?
Similar to a NAT, it converts the port number from a private IP address to a public one and vice versa
What is the 1st octet range of a Class A IP address?
1-127
What is the 1st octet range of a Class B IP address?
128-191
What is the 1st octet range of a Class C IPv4 address?
192-223
What is the 1st octet range of a Class D IP address?
224-239
What is the 1st octet range of a Class E IP address?
240-254
Subnet mask of Class A
255.0.0.0
Subnet mask of Class B
255.255.0.0
Subnet mask of Class C
255.255.255.0
How do you get the network address from a classful IP address?
Keep the first 1-3 octets depending on the Class, then 0’s for the rest
How do you get the first host address?
Take the network address and add 1 to the last octet
How do you get the broadcast address?
Take the network address and set all remaining octets to 255
How do you get the last host address?
Take the broadcast address and subtract 1 from the last octet
What is /# notation called?
Slash notation or CIDR block notation
What does the /# represent in CIDR block notation, and how does it influence the network?
The number of bits used for the subnet mask. A larger number means fewer devices can connect to the network, and a smaller number means more devices can connect to the network.
