A host or node is a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Every TCP/IP host is uniquely identified by its IP
address. An IP address consists of a network ID and a host ID. If two different hosts belong to the same network,
they have the same network ID. The two hosts will have different host IDs and can communicate with each other
locally without going through a router. If two hosts have different network IDs, they belong to different segments
on the network and they must communicate with each other remotely through a router or default gateway.
An IP address consists of 32 binary bits, where each bit is either a 0 or 1. We write the 32 bits into four 8 bit
numbers (octets) separated by periods.
Developing a TCP/IP addressing scheme
Hosts for a LAN subnet mask
One for each router interface
Subnet mask
Number of subnets on the network

One for each NIC on each host


Number of host IDs on each subnet

IP Address Classes
The Class of the address determines which part is the network address and which part is the host address. There
are 5 different address classes. Classes can be distinguished by the decimal notation of the very first octet. The
following Address Class table illustrates how you can determine to which class an address belongs.
Private IP Addresses
You can use certain IP addresses privately within you own Intranet as long as they are not seen by the global
community.

Class A IP addresses allow the most number of hosts


Class C IP addresses allow the least number of hosts
Using this table we can see the IP address in 193.10.30.2 is a Class C address.

Addressing types
Cisco IOS software support 3 types of addressing:
Unicast
o Directed to a valid host address on a segment
Multicast
o Directed to a group of devices on a segment
o are sent to a particular network and are allowed to transit by a router
o all 1s in the host portion of the address.
o e.g. If you want to send a broadcast to the third subnet of the 172.16 network the address would
be 172.16.3.255
o e.g. If you want to send a broadcast to all the subnets of 172.16 network the address would be
172.16.255.255
Broadcast
o Directed to every device on the same segment
o Flooded broadcasts are considered local and are represented by 255.255.255.255 or
FFFF.FFFF.FFFF
Whenever you want to refer to your entire network with an IP address, the host section is set to all 0s
(binary=00000000) = 0 For example 172.16.0.0 specifies the network for the above address.
Subnetting
SUBNETTING CREATES MORE NETWORKS WITH FEWER HOSTS AVAILABLE (on each network)
subnet bits are borrowed from the Node/Host portion.
you may use all but 2 bits when subnetting (cant borrow all bits from the host portion of an address)
Network address 207.103.56.105 with a SM of 255.255.255.240 is a class C address with 4 bits borrowed
This creates a^4 = 16-2 means you can have 14 valid subnets with the same number of hosts per subnets
Directed/only subnet broadcast address
Flooded/total network broadcast address

N.N.S.255 (this is for class B)


N.N.255.255 (this is for class B)

Subnetting is the process used to divide the total available IP addressed (hosts) for your Network into smaller
subnetworks (subnets). For example, the Network ID we used in the discussion above (193.10.30.0). This
network would consist of 256 possible IP addresses (193.10.30.0 - 193.10.30.255).
We know this because in a Class C address, only the last octet is available for host IDs (0000000 11111111) or
(0 255). Since 0 is used to identify the whole network and 255 is reserved for broadcasts, that leaves us with 254
possible hosts (193.10.30.1 193.10.30.254).
Suppose we wanted to divide those 254 addresses up into 6 smaller subnets. This can be done by using what is
referred to as a Subnet Mask. By looking at the above table we can see Class C addresses all have a default
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Since the last octet of the subnet mask is 0, it means that the host IDs have not
been subdivided into smaller subnets. However, if we choose to divide our network into a few smaller segments
(subnets), then we would change the default subnet mask by replacing the last octet with one of the valid subnet
masks.
255.255.255.240 = 11111111.11111111.11111111.11110000

class C is an exception whereby we remove 2 hosts from each of the ranges because we
are already subnetting the 4th octet and consequently dont have room for the network
and broadcast addresses weird heh?
example
Subnet 192.168.10.0
SM
255.255.255.128

/25

Cannot use this subnet mask as it involves only using one bit for subnetting

192 is 2 masked-bits and 6 host-bits
2 ^ MaskedBits - 2 = 2^2-2 = 2
B. how many valid hosts/subnet?
2 ^ host-bits - 2 = 2^6-2 = 62
C. first valid subnet and incremental value
256 192 = 64, 128

i.e. the number before the next subnet

Given a class B address 172.16 from NIC.
A typical subnetting scheme for a class B network would be to use an 8 bit subnet
mask. Since the 3rd octet is the first free octet for class B, you will start there.
So, if an 8 bit subnet mask would be 255.255.255.0, this means you have 254 subnets
available and 254 addresses for nodes per subnet (there are only 254 subnets

B. how many valid hosts/subnet?
2^HB-2 = 2^7-2 = 126
C. first valid subnet and incremental value
Because we are subnetting more than 8 bits, we use the range 0-255 and divide within
that.
i.e. 1,2,3,4...255
and each subnet is actually 2 subnets (i.e. each 4th octet value defines two ranges)

Keypoints
Know that 6 bits of subnetting is the most you can have with a class C address.
Know that it is the subnet mask that actually determines which parts of the IP address are the Network
Number and the Host Node
Only practice Class B & C in anticipation that Class A will not come up in the exam

5 WAYS THAT THE EXAM WILL TEST YOUR IP ADDRESSING


KNOWLEDGE
Given an IP address + mask, what is the network/subnet number?
Given an IP address + mask, what is the network/subnet broadcast
address?
Given an IP address + mask, what are the assignable IP address
in that network/subnet?
Given a network number and static subnet mask, what are the
valid subnet numbers?
Given a network number and static subnet mask, how many hosts
per subnet, and how many subnets?
