COMPUTER NETWORK | TOPIC 2.4 | SUMMARY

IP ADDRESS
  • ·         A logical numeric address assigned to every computer. It is used to communicate in a network.
  • ·         Made up of 32-bits
  • ·         Divisible into a network portion and host portion with the help of a subnet mask.

NETWORK MASKS
  • ·         Helps you know which portion of the address identifies the network and host
  • ·         Class A, B, and C networks have default masks, also known as natural masks

  SUBNETTING
SUBNETWORKS
  • ·         Also known as subnets
  • ·         A logically visible subdivision of an IP network
  • ·         The practice of dividing a network into two or more networks is called subnetting
  • ·         Allows you to create multiple logical networks that exist within a single Class A, B and C
  • ·         Each data link on a network must have a unique network ID


  • ·         In order to subnet a network, extend the natural mask using some of the bits from the host ID

Ex: Class C = 204.17.5.0; Natural Mask = 255.255.255.0
204.17.5.0
11001100.00010001.00000101.00000000
255.255.255.224
11111111.11111111.11111111.11100000

  • ·         With this three bits, it is possible to create eight subnets
  • ·         With the five host ID bits, each subnet can have up to 32 host addresses.
  • ·         The more host bits you use for a subnet mask, more subnets you have available
  • ·         The more subnets available, the less host addresses available per subnet

VLSM
  • ·         Variable Length Subnet Mask
  • ·         Allows you to use different masks for each subnet
  • ·         A technique that allows network administrators to divide and IP address space to subnets of different sizes, unlike simple same-size subnetting.
