MSD
Place holder is a
Zero
A logical numeric address assigned to every computer, printer,
switch, router or other device that is part of a TCP/IP-based network
IP address
Numbers written in form of 32 bits in four groups of eight binary
components referred to as
octets
Address format to represent a binary IP address in a more user-friendly
manner is referred to as
dotted decimal notation
205.112.45.60 what kind of IP address
dotted decimal notation
Largest octet number is
255
Composed of network number and host number
IP address
Identifies specific network
Must be assigned by IANA or authorized representative
Network number
ID’s specific host or node
Assigned by local network administrator
Host number
Each IPv4 address belongs one of five classes of IP addresses
depending on the number in the first
octet
First three classes - A, B and C - used by
network administrators
Other two classes, D and E, are
reserved
o Used for large networks
o Decimal addresses 1-126 in first octet
o Zero (0) is the first binary bit of the first octet
o Last 23 bits identify host or node number
o 126 class A networks with 16,777,214 hosts on each network
o 0 and 127 reserved for special purpose; 127 is special number called
loopback address
Class A
o Used for intermediate sized networks
o Decimal addresses 128-191 in first octet
o First two binary bits (10) of first octet identify Class B address
o Next 14 bits, identify network number
o Last sixteen bits (2 octets) identify host or node number
o About 16,384 possible Class B networks with potentially 65,534 hosts on
each network
Class B
o Used for small networks
o Decimal addresses 192-223 in first octet
o First three binary bits (110) of first octet identify Class C address
o Next 21 bits, identify network number
o Last eight bits (1 octet) identify host or node number
o About 2,097,152 Class C networks with 254 possible hosts or nodes on
each network
Class C
o Reserved for multicast (designated recipients) addressing
o Decimal addresses 224-239 in first octet
o First four binary bits (1110) of first octet identify Class D address and
together with the rest of address, identify network number
o Multicast is a membership addressing function that has no host field.
Class D
o Reserved for research and development
o Decimal addresses 240-254 in first octet
o First four binary bits (1111) of first octet identify Class D address and,
together with rest of the address, identify network number
o Octet value 255 is reserved for special use.
Class E
Logical division of network of
connected network devices based on IP
address
Separate and identifiable portion of an
organization’s network, typically
arranged on one floor, building or
geographical location
Network within a network
