IPv4 Addressing (Part 1)

OSI Model

  • Provides connectivity between end hosts on different networks (ie. outside of the LAN)
  • Provides logical addressing IP addresses
  • Provides path selection between source and destination
  • Routers operate at Layer 3

IPv4 Header

IP addresses are 32 bits long

Class A 192.168.1.254/24 192.168.1. = network portion (part of the same network) 254 = host portion (different machine)

Class B 154.78.111.32/16 154.78 = network portion 111.32 = host portion

Class C 12.128.151.23/8 12 = network portion 128.151.23 = host portion

IPV4 address classes

Class First octet numeric range Prefix Length
A 0xxxxxxxx 0-127 /8
B 10xxxxxxx 128-191 /16
C 110xxxxxx 192-223 /24
D 1110xxxxx 224-239
E 1111xxxxx 240-255

class D are reserverd for Multicast addresses class E are reserved for expermital end of the class A is 126 127 are reserved for loopback addresses

Loopback addresses

  • Address range 127.0.0.0 - 127.255.255.255
  • Used to test the 'network stack' (think OSI, TCP/IP model) on local device

Netmask

Class A: /8 255.0.0.0 Class B: /16 255.255.0.0 Class C: /24 255.255.255.0

Host portion of the address is all 0's = Network Address the netowrk address cannot be assigned to a host

Host portion of the address is all 1's = Broadcast address Address The Broadcast address cannot be assigned to a host

Review

  • Network portion / host portion of IPv4 address
  • IPv4 classes
  • Prefix lengths / netmasks
  • Network address / broadcast addresses
