Private Network Ranges
* 10.0.0.0/8 ---Class A network with range 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 * 172.16.0.0/12 --- 16 Contiguous Class B networks with address 172.168.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 * 192.168.0.0/16 --- 256 contiguous Class C networks with address 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
32
CIDR
Class InterDomain Routing
33
Classless InterDomain Routing (CIDR)
Subnetworks of any size could be allocated, just by allowing any mask prefix number.
34
0.0.0.0
Nonroutable address which can either mean the current nework, the default route, any address address, or specific error
35
255.255.255.255
Broadcast address that address the entire subnet at once
36
127.0.0.0
Class A network reserved for loopback adddresses
37
169.254.0.0/16
Link-local or automatic Private IP addressing (APIPA) addresses. WHen a host doesn't have an IP address and cannot receive one from a server, it attempts to choose a unique random value from this range
38
RIR
regional internet registry
39
IPv6 address format
32 hexadecimal digits broken into eight groups of four separated by colons example fe80:0000:0000:0000:c249:3765:00c0:9b22
40
IPv6 address network prefix
first 64 bits in the address | (similar to IPv4 network ID)
41
IPv6 device identifier
last 64bits in the IPv6 address similar to host id in IPv4
42
IPv6 Network prefix can be broken into
* 48 bit **Global routing prefix** used by routers on the larger network (first 48 bits) * 16 bit **subnet ID** used for subnetting inside an organization
43
IPv6 device identifier
Not arbitray By default the device EUI-64 hardware address. EUI-64 is equal to or derived from its unique MAC address
44
IPv6 Loopback
::1/128
45
IPv6 link-local
always start with fe80 (1111111010) followed by 54 zero bits, followed by the EUI-64 usable on local segment but not routable All IPv6 nodes keep a link-local address even if assigned a public address link-local netowkr used block fe80::/10 individual address use prefix fe80::/64
46
All global unicast IPv6 address allocated from which block
2000::/3 which means they all start with 001
47
IPv6 multicast addresses always begin with
1111 1111 (FF)
48
IPv6 unique local
* Similar to IPv4 Private netowrk * routable with a private network, but not on the pilic internet * use fd00::/8 block * fc00::/8 is also reserverd but not currently in use
49
address resolution
the process of using a higher level address to find out a lower level address
50
Neighbor Discovery Protocol
IPv6 protocol used to find the physical address corresponding to a local IP address
51
Address Resolution Protocol
IPv4 protocol to find the physical address corresponding to a local IP address
52
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
53
2 most common transport protocols in TCP/IP
* Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) * User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
54
TCP
Transmision Control Protocol
55
UDP
User Datagram Protocol
56
TCP Features
* Connection-oriented * Reliable * Error Correction * Flow Control * Sequencing
57
UDP features
* Connectionless * fast * lightweight * The local host just sends datagrams without setting up a connection or waiting for an acknowledgement
58
Range of ports for TCP / UDP
65526 ports (16 bit) each
59
ephemeral ports
Ports held in a pool by the OS and given by the OS for client programs to use for the length of a given connection Dynamic Ports
60
The three ranges of ports defined by IANA
* 1-1023 System Ports * 1024-49151 User Ports * 49152 - 65535 Private Ports
61
System ports
0-1023 Assigned to the most universal and accepted TCP/IP standard applications Also called well-known ports Also called priviledged ports as many operating systems require admin privileges to bind an application to ports in this range
62
User Ports
1024-49151 Assigned to applications that benefit from assigned port numbers, but are not so widely used that they need become a worldwide standard Sometimes called registered ports as any creator can apply to IANA for a port in the range Sometimes called user ports as any user-level app an bind to a custom port in the range
63
Private Ports
49152-65535 Are not assigned by IANA Can be used for any purpose without registration usually used by private applications or for temporary purposes Most Operating systems assign their pool of ephermeral ports from this range
64
Remote Access Protocols
* Telnet (23) * SSH (22) * RDP / Remote Desktop Protocol (3389) * VNC / Virtual Network Computing (5900+N where N is the display number) * HTTP (80) * SNMP (UDP 161 / 162)
65
Authenticaiton systems
* **RADIUS** Desgined for dialup connections to private LANs, but used in other networks * **TACACS+ / Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System Plus (CISCO):** Cisco protocol with similar functions to RADIUS. Designed for remote admin of network devices, but can be used for remote access auth * **Kerberos:** Allows a client to access multiple network resources via a single sign-in. * **802.1x:** IEEE standard used to auth connections to an ethernet switch or wireless access point * **LDAP:** Manages a directory infromation service across a network
66
EMAIL protocols
SMTP / simple mail transfer protocol POP / post office protocol IMAP / intenet message access protocol (more features than pop, but uses more server resources) MAPI / messaging application programing interface (used by microsoft exchange servers)
67
unicast address
an address that corresponds to one particular host
