Q
How is the subnet mask used to determine the network ID?
A
Computers determine the network ID by doing a logical AND operation between its IP address and subnet mask. A logical AND is an operation between two binary values. AND operations can have the following results: 0 AND 0 = 0 1 AND 0 = 0 0 AND 1 = 0 1 AND 1 = 1 The logical AND operation between a computer’s IP address and subnet mask looks like this: 10101100.00011111.01100100.00000110 (binary for 172.31.100.6) AND 11111111.11111111.00000000.00000000 (binary for 255.255.0.0) ____________________________ 10101100.00011111.00000000.00000000 (binary for 172.31.0.0)

Q
How do i convert 125 from Decimal to Binary
A
To convert 125 to binary use the following chart and follow the directions: 128_64_32_16_8_4_2_1 0___1__1___1__1_1_0_1 125 is less than 128, so you place a 0 in the column under the 128. The test number remains 125 125 is greater than 64, so you place a 1 in the column under the 64 and subtract 64 from 125, leaving your new test number as 61 61 is greater than 32, so you place a 1 in the column under the 32 and subtract 32 from 61, leaving your new test number as 29 29 is greater than 16, so you place a 1 in the column under the 16 and subtract 16 from 29, leaving your new test number as 13

Q
What is subnetting
What are the reasons to subnet
A
A process that reallocates bits from an IP address’s host portion to the network portion, creating multiple smaller address spaces
- To divide a very large network into many smaller subnetworks
- To conserve IP addresses
- To divide a network into smaller groups
23
Q
What is the process for subnetting
A
- Decide how many subnets you need. Each router interface connection indicates a required subnet
- Decide how many bits you need to meet or exceed the number of required subnets
- Use the formula 2^n with n representing the number of bits you must reallocate from the host ID to the network ID
- The number of subents you create is always a power of 2, so if you need 60 subnets, you must must reallocate 6 bits (2^6 = 64) because reallocating 5 bits gives you only 32 subnets
24
Q
What is supernetting
A
- This is the process of reallocating bits from the network portion of an IP address to the host portion
- Making two or more smaller subnets a larger supernet
- Also known as route aggregation or route summarization
25
Rules for IPv4 Address assignment
* A host can be assigned only a Class A, Class B, or Class C address
* Every IP address configuration must have a subnet mask
* All hosts on the same physical network must share the same network ID in their IP addresses
* All host IDs on the same network must be unique
* You can't assign an IP address in which all the host ID bits are binary 0
* You can’t assign an IP address in which all the host ID bits are binary 1
* Computers assigned different network IDs can communicate only if a router is present to forward packets
* The default gateway address assigned to a computer must have the same network ID as that computer
26
Windows OSs allow multiple IP addresses to be assigned to a single network connection, via advanced TCP/IP settings box.
Why might multiple IP addresses be useful?
* The computer is hosting a service that must be accessed by using different addresses
* The computer is connected to a physical network that hosts multiple IP networks
27
What is a multihomed server?
What are the reasons for using this type of configuration?

* Typinga question mark at the interactive mode prompt gives a list of available options
35
What is NAT and what does it do
Network Address Transition
* NAT allows an organization to use private IP addresses while connected to the internet
* The NAT process translates a workstation’s private address (as a packet leaves the corporate network) into a valid public Internet address
* When data returns to the workstation, the address is translated back to the original private address
* Nat is usually handled by a network device connected to the Internet, such as a router
* Address translation is kept track of in a NAT table
36
What is PAT
Port Address Translation (PAT)
* Allows several hundred workstations to access the Internet with a single public Internet address

45
How do IPv6 Unicast addresses work?
* Link-local - addresses starting with fe80, are self-configuring, and can't be routed (used for computer-to-computer communication)
* Unique local - addresses starting with fc or fd that are for use behind a firewall and are preconfigured on routers
* Global - accessible on the public internet and can be routed
46

* Group ID - represented by the z characters, identifies a multicast group
47
How do IPv6 Anycast addresses work?
* can be assigned to multiple interfaces on different nodes
* Are recognized as anycast addresses only by the devices that use them
* Are assigned on routers and are used to allow other IPv6 nodes to deliver packets to the nearest router on a subnet
* don't have a special format
48
IPv6 autoconfiguration occurs by two methods
* Stateless autoconfiguration
* the node listens for router advertisement messages from a local router
* Stateful autoconfiguration
* the node uses an autoconfiguration protocol, such as DHCPv6, to obtain its IPv6 address and other configuration information
49
What are the Windows autoconfiguration steps?
1. At initialization, a link-local address id determined
2. The link-local address is verified as unique by using duplicate address detection
3. If the address is verified as unique, the address is assigned to the interface
4. The host transmits a router solicitation message
5. If no router advertisement messages are received in response to the solicitation message, the host attempts to use DHCPv6 to get an address
6. If router advertisement message is received, the prefix in the router advertisement is used along with the interface ID to configure the IPv6 address on the interface
50
What is IPv6-over-IPv4 Tunneling?

69
What is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
* DHCP is a way to automatically assign IP addresses as needed
* When a computer is turned on, it requests an address from a server that is configured as a DHCP server
* The server assigns an address for a specific amount of time (called a lease)
70
What is a DHCP server composed of?
* IP address scope - a range of IP addresses the server leases to clients
* Scope options - IP settings such as default gateway, DNS servers, a domain name, and other options
* Reservations - an IP address tied to a particular MAC address
* Exclusions - one or more IP addresses excluded from the IP address scope
* DHCP Server service - runs in the background and listens on UDP port 69 for IP address requests
71
What happens on a DHCP server after an address is leased?
* A record of the lease is stored in a database, including a lease expiration time
* When 50% of the lease time has elapsed, the computer attempts to renew the lease from the same DHCP server that originally responded
* If no response, the computer waits until lease is 87.5% expired, a broadcast DHCP renewal request is sent
* if no response when lease expires, computer broadcasts a DHCP request for a new IP address
72
Why does DHCP use UDP
DHCP servers are usually located on the same network and DHCP messages are short
73
What are the four broadcast packets used by the DHCP process?
* DHCPDiscover
* the client announces to the network that it's looking for a DHCP server
* DHCPOffer
* the server replies and offers the client an IP address for lease
* DHCPRequest
* the client wants the offered IP address
* DHCPAck
* the server acknowledges the transaction and the client can now use the IP address
74
What is a Domain Name System (DNS)
* DNS is a name-to-address resolution protocol that keeps a list of computer names and their IP addresses

* level domains are organized into categories such as commercial (.com), nonprofit organizations (.org), goverment (.gov) or country of origin indicated by a two-letter code
* second-level domains are usually the name of a company or institution
* subdomain is optoinal and can consist of names separated by a period
* host level represents individual computers hosting network services
77
What does DNS client do
The DNS client is responsible for communicating with a DNS server to resolve computer and domain names to IP addresses
referred to as a "resolver"
78
DNS servers are composed of the following:
DNS zones
Resource records
Cache
Root hints
DNS Server service
* DNS zones - a database of primarily hostname and IP address pairs
* Resource records - the data contained in a zone
* Cache - results of queries are cached so that if the same query occurs again, the local DNS server can respond without having to contact another server
* Root hints - file containing a list of all IP addresses of Internet root servers
* DNS Server service - runs in the background and listens for DNS queries on UDP port 53
79

87
What are the important fields in an IP packet?
* Version
* Time to live (TTL)
* Protocol
* Checksum
* Source and Destination address
88
What is an ARP cache
* This is a temprorary location in RAM where PCs and other devices store learned IP addresses so it doesn't have to send an ARP request every time
* If the destination computer is on another network:
* The computer uses ARP to retrieve the MAC address of the router configured as its default gateway
* The packet is delivered to the router and the router determines where the packet should go next to get to its destination
89
What is an Internet Control Message Protocol used for?
* to send error and control messages between systems or devices
* specialized IP packet with its own header
* A ICMP Reply indicates whether the host is reachable and how long the message's round trip from sender to receiver took
90
What do Network Access-Layer Protocols do
* Provides a physical (MAC) address for the network interface
* verifies incoming frames have the correct destination MAC address
* Defines and follows media access rules
* Provides frame error detection (a CRC code)
* transmits and receives bit signals
* defines the signaling needed to transmit bits, whether electrical, light pulses, or radio waves
* defines the media and connectors needed to make a physical network connection
