Question 3

Host can be what?

Answer 5

to the network interface connection for a host.

Question 6

What are some examples of End devices with NIC Cards?

Answer 6

Question 7

Do router have its own IP address?

Answer 7

Router interfaces that provide connections to an IP network will also have an IPv4 address.

Question 8

IPv4 addresses are how many bits?

Answer 8

32 bits

Question 9

IPv4 are grouped into four 8-bit bytes called?

Answer 9

octets like this:
11010001.10100101.11001000.00000001

Question 10

The logical 32-bit IPv4 address is hierarchical and is made up of two parts which are?

Answer 10

the network and the host

Question 11

This is used to identify the network on which the host is connected.

Answer 11

subnet mask

Question 12

How to identify the network and host part?

Answer 12

As an example, there is a host with an IPv4 address 192.168.5.11 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. The first three octets, (192.168.5), identify the network portion of the address, and the last octet, (11) identifies the host.
