Q

Describe the 4 Common Principles of Internet Addressing that most Networks follow?

A
  1. Give the Default Gateway the first IP Address in the Network ID.
  2. Try to use the remaining IP Addresses in sequential order.
  3. Try to separate Servers from Clients
  4. Document whatever you choose to do so the person who comes after you understands.

Q

Define a DHCP Lease and describe how it is used?

A

DHCP Lease is set for a fixed/limited amount of time, often one to eight days.

Q

Define the Default Gateway on a TCP/IP Network and briefly describe how it is set up?

A

Default Gateway is the Router, which is basically the “Gateway” from the LAN to reach the Internet.
Your LAN gets connected to the Router, when the Client on the Network needs to reach the Internet, the Segment is “Routed” through the Router and the Router - using its Routing Tables sends it off, the Segment will go from Router to Router known as Hops until it reaches its Destination.

2x / 2, where x represents the number of zeroes in the subnet mask
2x * 2, where x represents the number of zeroes in the subnet mask

29
Q

Apple called its Protocol suite ______?

NetBEUI
AppleTalk

32 bits
32 bytes

Class E is for Private and Special Addresses.

A

Class E is considered to be experimental.

50
Q

Explain the two ways to give a computer an IP Address, Subnet Mask, and a Default Gateway?

A
  1. Dynamic - Automatically assigned by a Server that passes it out.
  2. Static - Manually assigned by an Admin
51
Q

Who decides when to use TCP or UDP?

A

The Application and/or basically the Programmers who created the Application.

52
Q

What is the Loopback Address and what is its Purpose?

A

127.0.0.1 - Allows a device to Send/Receive its own Data Packet to test functionality of the Computer’s Network Stack.

What does it mean if a System’s IP Address is within the 169.254.0.0/16 Network ID?

A

That is an APIPA Address (Automatic Private IP Address).

This is an indication there’s an issue with the DHCP Lease/Server and should be investigated ASAP.
