Q

What does IP do?

A

IP is the protocol w / in TCP/IP that is in controls routing of info to different comps, devices, servers.
Deals with IP addresses, subnet masks, default
Figures out where other comps are so they can begin communication.
It is a “routable protocol”
Connects computers based on the computers IP addresses

Q

Routable Protocol

A

makes it so you can divide comps into subnetworks with a boundary that is a router.
Go through a router to connect to other subnetworks.
Allow you to divide huge NWs into small NWs and can connect these smaller NWs with routers

Q

Why was the internet created?

A

For the military. For WW3 scenarios. If nuclear armageddon has happened and you have diverse military installations trying to communicate with each other. This is the scenario tcp ip was created under.
Realization that communication might be flaky, if you send all info at once it might be garbled. Created “windowing” to test quality of transmission lines and sends “packets” (bits and bytes) of info. Acknowledgement is send back to sending computer to let it know packets where received. Sender will increase amount of packets sent after acknowledgment.

Q

What does your comp do when you enter a domain name?

A

It talks to the DNS and asks what the domain name means. DNS tells your comp what
Your comp will first search the local NW for the website. If it doesn’t find it it goes to the default gateway to get connected out to the website on the internet.

Q

Dynamic IP addresses

A

You can give your comp dynamic ip addresses:
Where DHCP comes in.
When comp connects to NW it will call out the DHCP server.
Dhcp server will then give it an IP address, tell it the subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server.
Dhcp keeps track of addresses given out so that all addresses are unique

Q

What happens in DHCP process?

A
  1. your comp asks for an IP address
  2. you have already told dhcp the scope of ip addresses it can give out. You tell it the subnet mask, the default gateway, and the DNS servers this is all preconfigured by you
  3. DHCP server will then give all info to comp with a “lease time”
    Configured into DHCP by server admin.
  4. Half way through lease your comp will try to renew lease on IP
  5. DHCP server says yes or no
  6. if comp can’t contact dhcp at 50% mark, it tries again at next 50% mark and continues until it gets in touch.
    Contact time has a 50% “half life”.

NAT

A

Q

How NAT works

A

each router needs own ip address. once inside router / inside internal nw , you can reuse addresses.
server on internet is concerned with the routers external ip address
Router has nat built into it. router routs info to the client comp in its network w / o nat every comp would need a unique ip address.

60
Q

TCP

A

Transmission Control Protocol

61
Q

What is TCP

A

one to one connection between comps, connection-oriented communication, “reliable” communication

62
Q

connection-oriented communication, and 3-way handshake

A

used by TCP. means that a connection must be established before data can be exchanged. TcP uses a “three-way handshake” to establish this connection

63
Q

What is the 3 - way handshake?

A
  1. comp 1 signals comp 2 & sends info for communicating.
  2. comp 2 acknowledges comp 1s request and sends back info for communicating with it.
  3. comp 1 begins communication with comp 2
64
Q

Reliable Communication

A

each comp sends back acknowledgement of reception of each others messages
Like sending certified mail

65
Q

UDP

A

User Datagram Protocol
Typically used when one is trying to communicate with many,
connectionless, unreliable communications

66
Q

Unreliable Communication

A

no acknowledgement of receipt by receiving computer. Like sending uncertified mail

67
Q

analogy of UDP

A

radio broadcasting

68
Q

Internet Layer Protocols

A

IP, ARP, ICMP, IGMP

69
Q

Transport Layer Protocols

A

TCP and UDP

70
Q

IP Protocol

A

used for addressing and routing

71
Q

ARP

A

Address Resolution Protocol
Resolves an IP address down to the computers hardware address. Computers actually communicate based on their hardware addresses

72
Q

ICMP

A

Internet Control Message Protocol.
Diagnostic and error reporting.
icmp will try to send error back to sender if there is an error in transmission

73
Q

analogy for icmp

A

receive a letter back marked return to sender. letting you know there was an error in sending

74
Q

IGMP

A

Internet Group Management Protocol.

Manages IP multicast group membership.

75
Q

Multicast communication

A

requires membership to this group and igmp mananges this group membership

76
Q

Types of tcp/ip communication

A

Unicast (one to one)
Multicast (one to many)
Broadcast (one to all)
Anycast (one to one of many)

77
Q

how Multicast works

A

uses a multicast group. sends to everyone who chooses to subscribe.

78
Q

Anycast

A

a number of comps will subscribe to an any cast address. When server sends out info it is sent to the closest of all comps subscribed

79
Q

What is an IP address

A

a 32 bit address that is used to uniquely identify a computer on a network.
The NW ID portion of the IP address identifies the network where the computer sits.
The Host ID portion of the IP address uniquely identifies the computer on its network.

80
Q

analogy for an IP address

A

a lot like a street address.
NW ID portion is like the name of the street.
The Host ID portion is like the house number.

81
Q

Left most portion of the IP address

A

is the NW ID

82
Q

Right most portion of the IP address

A

is the Host ID

83
Q

Subnet Mask purpose

A

to determine where the division between NW and Host IDs in an IP address

84
Q

What are the numbers in the Subnet Mask and what do they represent?

A

Subnet mask always begins with 255s on the right and ends with 0s on the right side.
255s represent the Network ID and the 0s represent the Host ID

85
Q

are subnet masks required?

A

Subnet mask is not an optional component. An ip address will always have a subnet mask.

86
Q

How to view IP configuration

A

Command Prompt (cmd) > type in ipconfig

87
Q

How to test connectivity

A 
Use ping (basically tries to go out an touch another comp)
Command Prompt > enter ping IPaddress
88
Q

What Ping does

A

sends out an echo request. If computer receives the request, it will send a message back. Makes 4 attempts incase there is a small hiccup on the 1st ping.
