Understanding TCP/IP Addressing
Network Protocols
Provide the logical "language" for communication
Two computers must be configured with the same network protocols in order to communicate and transfer information.
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
The most common networking protocol
Consists of a suite of different protocols that work in concert to allow computers to communicate on a TCP/IP network.
By subdividing TCP/IP networks into smaller groupings called subnets.
Addressing
In order for any computer or host, a computer, printer, or other device configured with a network interface, to communicate on a TCP/IP network, it must be configured with a valid IP address.
IP address: Is a software address, not a hardware address Used for finding hosts on a local network. Allow hosts on one network to communicate with
a host on a different network.

IP address
Each IP address consists of two components: Network Address:▪ This portion of the IP address is shared by all TCP/IP
hosts on a particular network or subnet. Host Address:▪ This comprises the portion of me IP address that is
unique to a particular computer or host. IP address = the network address + the host
address must be unique across an entire TCP/IP network.
IP address
In addition to the IP address, each TCP/IP host must be configured with the following: Subnet Mask▪ Used to identify which network the TCP/IP host
resides on by defining where the network address stops and the host address begins.
Default Gateway▪ Allows a host to communicate with devices that reside
on a remote network or location.
IP version 4 (IPv4)
The first implementation of the Internet Protocol (IP)
It uses 32 bits (4 bytes, or octets) for addressing. providing a limit of 232 possible addresses
Represented using dotted-decimal notation the decimal value of each byte is shown using
periods to separate the bytes for example:
192.1.120.84 or 192.5.18.102

IP Terminology
Network address: Uniquely identifies each network. Every host on the same network share that
network address as a part of its IP address Used in routing to send packets to a remote
network▪ Ex: 10.0.0.0, 172.16.0.0, 192.168.10.0
Host address: Uniquely identifies each host on a network
IP Terminology
Broadcast address: Used by application and hosts to send
information to all nodes on a network. Ex: 255.255.255.255 ▪ all networks, all hosts
Ex: 172.16.255.255 ▪ all subnets and hosts on a network 172.16.0.0
Classes of Network
Classful Addressing The field for the network number was a
different length for different classes of network, and the remaining bits were used for the host number.

IPv4 Address Blocks
Two Types of IP Addresses Public▪ Obtained from ISP▪ One for every computer directly connected to the Internet▪ Block – A group of IP addresses sharing a single network ID
The addresses included within the address block
Private▪ Freely assigned in private network
Private IP Addresses
Can be used on private network Not routable through the internet Creating a measure of well-needed security Saves valuable IP address space Network Address Translation (NAT)
Takes a private IP address and convert it for use on the internet.
Reserved Private IP Address Space

Class C 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
APIPA
Self-assigned private IP address Allows computers to communicate without
requiring DHCP or manual IP configuration.
