Addressing and subnet formats Flashcards
(14 cards)
Ipv6 Anycast Address
Assigned to multiple devices, anycast goes to nearest device
Ipv6 Multicast
Used to send a packet to multiple devices at once
Ipv6 Unicast Address
Identifies a single unique device on the network
Benefits of subnetting
Efficient Ip address usage, improved security, better network performance
Types of NAT
Static: 1 to 1 mapping
Dynamic: Like static but uses availible public IP
PAT: Differentiates between devices using different port numbers
NAT
Allows public networks to use public ipv4 addresses while still being private
Broadcast Address
Used to send data to all devices on a network (255.255.255.255)
Loopback Address
Used for testing and reffering to local device/host (127.0.0.1)
Private IP Addresses
Not routable, Reserved for private networks
A 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
B 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
C 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
Ipv4 Class E
Experimental
240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255
Ipv4 Class D
Multicast Addresses
224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255
Ipv4 Class C
For small networks like homes or small businesses
192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255 subnet /24
Ipv4 Class B
Medium Sized Networks
128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255
Ipv4 Class A
Used for large networks
0.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255 subnet /8
