Network fundamentals II: Chapter 11
Reasons for Segmenting Networks
-Subnetting reduces overall network traffic and improves network performance. -It can be used to implement security policies between subnets. -Subnetting reduces the number of devices affected by abnormal broadcast traffic.
Which two statements are correct about private IPv4 addresses?
-private IPv4 addresses are assigned to devices within an organization's intranet (internal network) -any organization (home, school, office, company) can use the 10.0.0.0/8 address
Which two situations are the result of excessive broadcast traffic?
-slow network operations -slow device operations
Which two statements are correct about public IPv4 addresses?
-to access a device over the internet, the destination IPv4 address must be a public address. -public IPv4 address exhaustion is a reason why there are private IPv4 addresses and why organizations are transitioning to IPv6.

(0.0.0.0/8 to 127.0.0.0/8)
Class A
(128.0.0.0 /16 - 191.255.0.0 /16)
Class B
(192.0.0.0 /24 - 223.255.255.0 /24)
Class C
(224.0.0.0 to 239.0.0.0)
Class D
(240.0.0.0 - 255.0.0.0)
Class E
Used by Windows DHCP clients to self-configure when no DHCP servers are available, Commonly known as the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) addresses or self-assigned addresses.
Link-Local addresses
Used on a host to test if TCP/IP is operational, Commonly identified as only 127.0.0.1
Loopback addresses
translates private IPv4 addresses to public IPv4 addresses.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
are not unique and can be used internally within any network and are not globally routable
Private IPv4 addresses
are common blocks of addresses used by most organizations to assign IPv4 addresses to internal hosts.
Private addresses
Which organization or group of organizations receives IP addresses from IANA and is responsible for allocating these addresses to ISPs and some organizations?
RIRs
The only device that stops broadcasts is a router.
Switches propagate broadcasts out all interfaces except the interface on which it was received.
ANDing
The actual process used to identify the network and host portion.
IPv4 address is made up of...?
a network portion and a host portion.
What does the IP address 172.17.4.250/24 represent?
host address
A problem with a large broadcast domain?
is that these hosts can generate excessive broadcasts and negatively affect the network.
Which two parts are components of an IPv4 address?
network portion and host portion
Which devices will not forward an IPv4 broadcast packet by default?
router
what is used to determine the network and host portions?
subnet mask
Which statement is true about variable-length subnet masking?
the size of each subnet may be different, depending on requirements.
What is the purpose of the subnet mask in conjunction with an IP address?
to determine the subnet to which the host belongs
Why does a Layer 3 device perform the ANDing process on a destination IP address and subnet mask?
to identify the network address of the destination network
Multicast
transmission is sending a packet to a multicast address group.
Broadcast
transmission is sending a packet to all other destination IP addresses.
Unicast
transmission is sending a packet to one destination IP address.
