each network

Answer 21

 Class C

Question 22

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.

Answer 22

 Class D

Question 23

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.

Answer 23

 Class E

Question 24

 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

Answer 24

Subnetting

Question 25

 Involves dividing the network into smaller portions called subnets
 Applies to IP addresses because borrowing bits from the host
portion of the IP address
 IP address then has three components - the network part, the
subnet part and, the host part
 Create a subnet by logically grabbing last bit from network
component of address and use it to determine number of subnets
required

Answer 25

Subnetting

Question 26

 Class C address normally has 24 bits for
the network address and

Answer 26

eight for the
host

Question 27

 Borrow left-most bit of the host address
and declare it as

Answer 27

identifying the subnet

Question 28

subnetting: If bit is a 0, then that will be

Answer 28

1 subnet

Question 29

Subnetting: If the bit is a 1 that would be

Answer 29

second subnet

Question 30

32-bit number used to differentiate network component of IP address by
dividing IP address into network address and host address
Indicates how many bits are being “borrowed” from host component of IP
address

Answer 30

Subnet masks

Question 31

subnet masking: represents network number

Answer 31

255

Question 32

adapts the concept of
subnetting to entire Internet
Can aggregate networks into larger supernets
Supernetting, where principles of subnetting are applied to larger networks
Written out in network/mask format, where mask is tacked onto network
address in form of number of bits used in mask

Answer 32

 Classless Internet Domain Routing (CIDR)

Question 33

Used when subnetting a subnet
Any one subnet can be broken down into further subnets by indicating the Makes IP addressing more efficient by allowing each subnet to have a
different number of hosts
results in reducing the number of wasted addresses
proper?

Answer 33

Variable Length Subnet Masking (VLSM)

Question 34

 Not all IP addresses are available; some are used for special
purposes
 Any IP address ending in 255 is special broadcast address
 Other addresses are used for special signaling, including
o Multicast routing mechanisms
o Limited broadcasts sent to every host, but limited to the local subnet
o Directed broadcasts first routed to a specific subnet, and then broadcast to
all hosts on that subnet

Answer 34

Private IP addresses

Question 35

Answer 35

: Provides a single Class A network of addresses

: Provides up to 216 Class C network
addresses

Question 38

Only portion of “172” and “192” address ranges are designated for

Answer 38

private use

Question 39

All addresses in range 127.0.0.0 up to 127.255.255.255 for loopback
testing
127.0.0.1 is loopback address used in almost all cases

Answer 39

Loopback Addresses

Question 40

Addresses in the range 169.254.0.0/16 are auto-assigned by host (to itself)
if not configured with static IP and is unable to obtain a DHCP lease
Are auto-assigned; should not be used for private networks and statically
configured on hosts

Answer 40

Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)

Question 41

New version of Internet Protocol, replacing IPv4
* Increases IP address size from 32 bits to 128 bits
* 128-bit number supports 2128 values, or
340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456

IPv6
