Term
Which are the most common addresses on the internet?
Definition
IPv4
Term
What protocol assigns IP addresses and other TCP/IP information?
Definition
Domain Host Control Protocol (DHCP)
Term
An IPv4 address is made up of __ decimals separated by __ dots
Definition

Term
When an IPv4 address is in the standard "172.16.5.254" format, what is this called?
Definition
Dotted decimal format;
Dot-decimal notation
Term
How can you find your computer's IP address?
Definition
By using ipconfig
Term
What are the two components of an IP address?
Definition
Network ID;
Host ID
Term
What does the subnet mask identify?
Definition
Network ID
Term
What is a subnet mask?
Definition
A given component of an IP address that identifies the network ID using 255.255.0.0 notation
Term
What are the three classes of classful IDs?
Definition
Class A: 1-126
Class B: 128-191
Class C: 192-223
Term
Why aren't classes D and E available to the public?
Definition
They are reserved for multicasting and experimental use, respectively
Term
What are the subnet masks for classes A, B, and C?
Definition
A: 255.0.0.0
B: 255.255.0.0
C: 255.255.255.0
Term
What is the CIDR notation?
Definition
192.68.5.16 /16

/16 is CIDR notation, representing the fact that there are 16 bits in the network ID
Term
What are the combinations when two bits are borrowed from the host ID?
Definition
00
01
10
11
Term
You can create __ subnets
Definition
2^n

n: Number of bits borrowed
Term
What numbers can be used for a host ID?
Definition
1-254

0 is network ID
255 is broadcast address
Term
How many hosts can be supported in a subnet?
Definition
(2^h)-2

h: Number of bits in host ID
Term
How can you determine if an address is local or remote?
Definition
Compare the network IDs of the destination and source IPs, if they are the same, it's local. Otherwise, it is remote and must be sent through a default gateway.
