Q

how many bits and bytes in IPv4

A

32 bits or 4 bytes

17
Q

APIPA addresses

A

169.254.0.1-169.254.255.254

18
Q

private IP addresses

A

10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255

19
Q

uni cast

A

one device sending communication to another device

20
Q

broadcast

A

sends information to everyone at once (usually only to subnet)

21
Q

multicast

A

delivers only to devices that are interested in that data

22
Q

anycast

A

a single destination that has many options or endpoints

23
Q

classes of subnets (leading bits)

A

A- 1-127
B-128-191
C-192-223
D-(multicast)224-239
E-(reserved)240-254

24
Q

calculate number of subnets

A

take class of subnet and if a higher Cider is used the reminder are the subnet bits EX: 10.0.0.0/24 (subnet bts 16)

number of subnets=2^subnet bits

25
Q

calculate hosts per subnet

A

2^host bits-2

26
Q

how many bits and bytes in IPv6

A

128 bits or 16 bytes (2 bytes per section)

27
Q

ways to compress IPv6

A

:: removes grouped 0’s
leading 0’s are removed

28
Q

EUI-64

A

extended unique identifier (64-bit)(convert MAC address to this for IPv6

29
Q

Flipping the 7th bit for making IPv6 address

A

convert second character to the one up or down in group, then add FFFE in middle

30
Q

Break down a IPv6 address

A

first 48 bits are provided by IANA/RIR/ISP (global routing prefix),next 16 are local assigned subnet group, rest of 64 bits is the host ID

31
Q

teredo/miredo

A

teredo tunnels IPv6 through IPv4 on windows
miredo is for linus and mac

32
Q

dual stack routing

A

forward traffic through IPv4 and IPv6 at the same time

33
Q

since IPv6 doesnt have broadcast, what does it use?

A

NS or neighbor solicitation sent as multicast

34
Q

DHCP relay

A

configure a router to this, it transfers the message to a DHCP server

35
Q

DHCP renewal (T1 and T2 timer)

A

T1-50% of lease time
T2-87.5% of lease time

36
Q

How many root DNS servers are there?

A

13 with 1000 actual redundant servers

37
Q

recursive vs iterative query

A

recursive delegates the lookup to a DNS server
iterative requires you to do all the queries yourself

38
Q

forward vs reverse lookup

A

forward- give DNS server a FQDN and gets an IP address
Reverse- Give IP address and get a FQDN
