What is the loopback IP address?

127.0.0.1 The range for Class A is 0-127. However, the 127 network number isn't used by hosts as a logical IP address. Instead, this network is used for loopback IP addresses, which allow for testing.

What IPv6 address incorporates IPv4?

IPv4-mapped addresses IPv4-mapped addresses have the first 80 bits set to 0 (note the double colon), the next 16 set to 1 (shown as ffff), and the last 32 bits populated by the IPv4 address. These addresses look like IPv6 addresses, other than the last 32 bits, which are written in the customary dot-decimal notation. For example, ::ffff:192.0.2.128 represents the IPv4 address 192.0.2.128.

What type of address is 169.254.32.23? a) APIPA b) multicast address c) anycast address d) broadcast address

a) APIPA Microsoft developed one type of private range for use on small peer-to-peer Windows networks. This private range, called Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA), uses a single Class B network number: 169.254.0.0.

What server is used to translate host names to IP addresses? a) DNS b) WINS c) HOSTS d) DHCP

a) DNS The DNS server address is the IP address of the device or server that resolves DNS addresses to IP addresses

You have a computer that cannot connect to a server. When you look at the IP configuration, the host has an address of 169.32.54.2. What is the problem? a) The host cannot find a DHCP server. b) The host is set to multicast. c) The host is currently broadcasting. d) The host cannot find a domain controller.

a) The host cannot find a DHCP server. If a Windows client cannot get an IP address from a DHCP server and has not been configured statically, it auto-assigns an APIPA number on the network.

What type of address is used to send a single set of packets to multiple hosts? a) multicast address b) broadcast address c) unicast address d) anycast address

a) multicast address Multicasting addresses are used to transmit data to multiple computers (or routers).

You have a subnet mask of 255.255.240.0. What would the CIDR notation be? a) /16 b) /20 c) /24 d) /28

b) /20 One example of CIDR would be the IP network number 192.168.0.0/16. The /16 means that the subnet mask has 16 masked bits (or 1s), making 255.255.0.0. Usually, that would be a default Class B subnet mask, but because we are using it with what used to be a Class C network number, the whole address becomes classless.

What is the maximum number of hosts you can use for each subnet that belongs to a class C address? a) 128 b) 254 c) 256 d) 65,534

b) 254 A class C has 8 bits left for hosts. Therefore, 2^8 is equal to 256. But since you cannot use all 0s (network address) and all 1s (broadcast address), a class C will only support up to 254 hosts.

What is the default subnet mask for a Class B network? a) 255.0.0.0 b) 255.255.0.0 c) 255.255.255.0 d) 255.255.255.255

b) 255.255.0.0 The IPv4 classification system is known as the classful network architecture and is broken down into five sections. Class B has a default subnet mask of 255.255.0.0.

You have a host with the address of 180.24.45.120. To what class would this be address be assigned? a) Class A b) Class B c) Class C d) Class D

b) Class B Class B begins with 128-191.

What type of address is 202.23.2.255? a) multicast address b) broadcast address c) unicast address d) anycast address

b) broadcast address The broadcast address is used to communicate with all hosts on the network. It is defined as all host bits are 0 (0000 0000).

What defines the nearest router for a host? a) subnet mask b) default gateway c) DNS server d) WINS server

b) default gateway The default gateway is the first IP address of the device that a client computer will look for when attempting to gain access outside the local network. This device could be a router, server, or other similar device; it is the device that grants access to the Internet or other networks.

What type of address is 2001:4212:0000:34DB:0000:0000:0000:4231? a) MAC address b) IPv4 c) IPv6 d) anycast address

c) IPv6 IPv6 addresses are also hexadecimal in format and divided into eight groups of four numbers each, with each group separated by a colon.

How many bits is an IPv6 address? a) 32 b) 48 c) 64 d) 128

d) 128 The top reason to use IPv6 is address space. IPv6 is a 128-bit system, whereas its still-dominant predecessor IPv4 is only a 32-bit system. While IPv4 can have approximately 4 billion IP addresses in the whole system, IPv6 can have 340 undecillion addresses.

Which of the following is not a private address? a) 10.4.24.24 b) 172.16.36.45 c) 192.168.34.3 d) 200.23.34.120

d) 200.23.34.120 Private IP addresses are hidden from the Internet and any other networks. They are usually behind an IP proxy or firewall device. Several ranges of private IP addresses have been reserved by the IANA. Private address are 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0 to 172.16.255.255 and 172.31.255.255 and 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255.

For IPv4, what class is used for multicasting? a) Class A b) Class B c) Class C d) Class D

d) Class D Class D is used for what is known as multicasting—transmitting data to multiple computers (or routers).

What is used to remap private addresses to public addresses and back? a) DNS b) DHCP c) WINS d) NAT

d) NAT Network address translation (NAT) is the process of modifying an IP address while it is in transit across a router, computer, or similar device. This is usually so one larger address space (private) can be remapped to another address space, or perhaps remapped to a single public IP address.

What do you call a smaller network that is part of a larger network? a) host b) broadcast domain c) cluster d) subnet

d) subnet Subnetting is the act of dividing a network into smaller logical subnetworks or subnets.

A __________ address is assigned by a DHCP server.

dynamic Most commonly, computers are set up to obtain an IP address (and other IP information) automatically. In this example of a dynamic IP address, the computer broadcasts out to the network in an attempt to find a DHCP server, whether it's a four-port SOHO router, DHCP server, or other appliance. The server then replies with the required information.
