IP address

the workings of the most widely used protocol used in computing. That protocol is the TCP/IP protocol and associated common set of rules for addressing. IP addresses The TCP/IP protocol suite uses an Internet address, or IP address, to identify each network interface on the network. Devices can have more that one interface connected to the network. Each interface must have a unique IP address that identifies that interface. In our earlier conversations we examined MAC addressing and how layer two capable devices we able to utilize the MAC address to route packets to the desired destination. MAC address switching used layer…

Introduction Business users and applications rely on core infrastructure components to be available in order to effectively do the job for which they have been tasked. An internet protocol (IP) network is critical to business functions; however, obtaining an IP address is not enough. Client workstations should make use of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for the dynamic assignment of addresses, as well as other name resolution components, such as DNS, and WINS. Active Directory is…

1. How would you determine the university’s Internet Protocol (IP) address range? a. Log in to university workstation either from any computer on campus or by creating a VPN in my PC and connecting to passport.missouristate.edu. b. Run the ipconfig command to analyze the IP address and subnet that gives the addressing schema for the network. 2. What information can you retrieve from the Domain Name System (DNS)? From the DNS, the following information can be retrieved a. Number of servers…

Example: File Transfer Protocol, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. 2.4 What is a protocol data unit (PDU)? Protocol Data Unit is the both the Data from Next Higher Communication layer and Total Control Information, in simple it the Combination of Bothe the Higher Layer and Information. 2.5 What is protocol architecture? Protocol Architecture is the Structure of the Protocol which includes set of layered Protocols and functions in each and every layer and it will implement Communication Function …

This diagram illustrates a Local Area Network implemented using an Ethernet connection on a bus topology model. It is a LAN because there is no indication of considerable distance between the computers or departments. It is in Bus topology as since the computers connect to the network by connecting to the network cable. This as opposed to a star network topology setup. Next to each network component is an Internet Protocol (IP) address. Each IP consists of four number whose value can range from…

Phone. Here are some ISP’s: Virgin Media, Sky, BT and Talk Talk. Different companies offer different broadband speeds, Virgin Media provide speeds from 50Mb, 100Mb and 200Mb. Domain Name: Domain name, this is what identifies a website but also provides the IP address of a website. Every domain name will have a “Top Level Domain” (TLD); this is showing what the website is used for such as: .com for commercial, .org for organisation and .gov for government. The domain name is used so the user can…

of incoming and or outgoing data. Network layer – IP addresses are assigned to each individual computer. The IP addresses can change and are often assigned by the DHCP server. Data link layer – Mac Addresses are used to identify which hardware is the sender and which is the receiver. All hardware items have a MAC address. For example: a switch, a computer, and a hub would all have their own MAC address and that address is permanent to each individual device. 2. (5 points) How is TCP…

Class B has a maximum of 65,534 available IP addresses since the company will have grow to 350 employees over the next year a Class B network fills this need the best. A DHCP server will be set up to manage IP addresses in the network. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to a computer from a defined range of numbers configured for a given network (What is DHCP?, n.d.). Having a server to pass out IP…

QUES 1. A router has the following CIDR entries in the routing table: Address/Mask Next Hop 135.46.56.0/22 Interface 0 135.46.60.0/22 Interface 1 192.53.40.0/23 Router 1 Default Router 2 For each of the following IP addresses, what does the router do if a packet with that address arrives? 1. 135.46.63.10 2. 135.46.57.14 3. 135.46.52.2 4. 192.53.40.7 5. 192.53.56.7 g entirely with bytes is much simpler than working with individual bits. Answers: 1. 135.46.63.10 Using the first 22 bits of it as…

number of network interface and network protocol statistics. It is used for finding problems in the network and to determine the amount of traffic on the network as a performance measurement (Luo, 2005). The DNS serves as a hierarchical decentralised naming system for computers, services and any other resource connected to the internet or private networks. Most importantly it translates ‘plain-English’ domain names to the numerical IP addresses which locate and identify computer services with…
