Networking

Welcome to Networking!

In this room, we are going to learn the basics of networking and network addressing.

Types of IP Addresses

Just like we have our home address, computers have their own address, known as IP address, and their respective communication networks must have a way to address their mail. We are going to have a look at various types of IPv4 addresses with the guiding questions to understand about IP computer networking.

Refer to the picture above and solve the questions below

How many categories of IPv4 addresses are there? 5
Which type is for research? E
How many private address ranges are there? 3
Which private range is typically used by businesses? A
There are two common default private ranges for home routers, what is the first one? 192.168.0.0
How about the second common private home range? 192.168.1.0
How many addresses make up a typical class C range? Specifically a /24 256
Of these addresses two are reserved, what is the first addresses typically reserved as? network
The very last address in a range is typically reserved as what address type? broadcast
A third predominant address type is typically reserved for the router, what is the name of this address type? gateway
Which address is reserved for testing on individual computers? 127.0.0.1
A particularly unique address is reserved for unroutable packets, what is that address? This can also refer to all IPv4 addresses on the local machine. 0.0.0.0

Binary to Decimal & Decimal to Binary

Binary conversion is essential to understand in order to properly manage computer networks. An IPv4 address consists of 32 bits split up into four sections of eight bits.

Here's the link for the steps of how to convert binary to decimal and vice versa: https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/binary/bin2.html

Here's the link to the site where you can convert anything into anything that you want to get: https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/binary-to-decimal.html

Binary to Decimal: 209 -> 1101 0001

Decimal to Binary: 201 -> 1100 1001
