IP address:
It consists of 2 parts, such as the name of the network and host.
4 IP address classes: A, B, C
Classes addresses:

OSI [Open Systems Interconnection] - Reference Model contains seven layers:
Applications - Determination of the methods of communication software to network services.
Presentation - Identification protocol version.
Physical - physical transmission eg. The cable.
Data - access to data on the media and how to organize.
Network - to provide data to the recipient.
Transport - error monitoring, confirmation of receipt of data.
Session - Establishing two-way communication channel between computers.
Ports:
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) 21 - transferring files
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) 80.81 - upload websites
HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) 443 - upload web pages with encryption
IRC (Internet Relay Chat) - one of the first Web services provide real-time communication
NTP (Network Time Protocol), 123 - time synchronization
NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol) 119 - usenet discussion group
POP (Post Office Protocol) 110 - Internet protocol for receiving mail from the application layer
POP3S (Post Office Protocol) 110 - with additional functions
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) 25 - way of e-mail communication
SSH (secure shell) - termonalowa service or console messaging service
TELNET () - one of the first Web services provide real-time communication
DNS (Domain Name System) 53 - Assigning names to the IP address
IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) 143 - successor to the POP3
SAMBA () 137-139, 445 - the equivalent of a Windows based network environment
MYSQL () 3306 - MySql database
NFS (Network File System) 11, 2040 - file sharing UDP and TCP
Network tools:
Linux:
ifconfig -a - displays the IP address, DNS, gateway and other [All about]
Windows:
ipconfig / all - displays the IP address, DNS, gateway and other [All about]
netsh - diagnosis of the network [run scripts, preview setup, configuration, diagnostics]
