5.1.1 Purpose of the IP Address




A logical address unique to a particular device
IP Addresses assigned to host & end-user devices
A subnet mask identifies the network.

5.1.2 IP Address Structure
 32 Bits divided into four 8-bit sections called octets by periods
 Addresses are assigned using decimal, not binary numbers
 IP version 4
– Most common used
– 4 trillion (4,294,967,296) possible addresses (232)
– Example - 192.168.1.5

5.1.3 Parts of an IP Address
 IP Addressing is logical and heirarchical
 Example Address 192.168.100.39 (Class C)
– First section 192.168.100 is network portion
– Second section 39 is host portion
 Routers only need network address, not each host
 Less info in tables, faster routing
 Telephone system is also heirarchical, with country, area, and
exchange codes.

5.1.4 How IP Addresses and Subnet Masks Interact
 Every IP address has two parts, network and host
 Subnet mask
– Also 32-bit number
– Compared with IP address bit to bit (ANDing)
– 1s are network bits, 0s are host bits
 Hosts compare address to its own before sending
– Same mask - Local addresses have and sent locally
– Different mask - Network addresses are sent to router
 Most common masks:
– 255.0.0.0
– 255.255.0.0
– 255.255.255.0

5.1.4 How IP Addresses and Subnet Masks Interact
 Number of Hosts by Bits
– If there are 8 host bits, there are 28 hosts possible, or 256 (0-255)
– 16 bits - 216, or 65,536
– 24 bits - 224, or 16,777,216
 IP address that have all zeros in the host portion are network or subnetwork
addresses, not available for hosts assignment
 IP addresses with all 1s in the host portion are broadcast addresses, also
not assigned

 1 and 1 = 1
 1 and 0 = 0
 0 and 1 = 0
 0 and 0 = 0

5.2.2 Private and Public IP Addresses
 Public addresses are unique out on the Internet
 Risk of using up all unique addresses
 Introducing private addressing…

5.2.2 Private and Public IP Addresses
 RFC 1918 - Private Addressing
–
–
–
–
–
Can be used within private network without going on Internet
Class A - Very Large - Over 16 million
Class B - Medium, about 65,000
Class C - Small, only 256 addresses, or 254 hosts
Unique class, 127.0.0.0 used for loopback addresses

5.2.3 Unicast, Broadcast, and Multicast Messages
 Unicast
– Most common
– One destination
 Broadcast
–
–
–
–
Contains all 1s in the host portion
All local hosts will receive and read packet
Used by ARP and DHCP
Example: 192.168.35.0 255.255.255.0 broadcast address is
192.168.35.255
– Broadcast IP needs broadcast MAC address in Ethernet frame FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF (48 bits of 1)
 Multicast
– One source, many destinations
– Address range is 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255
– Multicast IP needs matching Ethernet frame address
• Always begins with 01-00-5E

information.

5.3.1 Static and Dynamic Address Assignment
 Methods of assigning an IP Address
– Static
• Configured by host administrator
• Used for servers, printers, and other
devices shared by users
• Time consuming
• List must be maintained
• Can introduce errors
– Dynamic
• Good where assignments change
often
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Control
Protocol) used
• Assigns other default information
– Subnet mask
– Default gateway
– DNS server, etc.
• Leased for period of time and
returned to pool when not in use

5.3.2 DHCP Servers




At the ISP (cable modem)
At the ISP (internal to ISP)
ISR in the home
Dedicated DHCP server in a business
Cisco Discovery Home & Small Business Chapter 5
21
5.3.3 Configuring DHCP
 Newly configured hosts have no IP address, subnet mask, or gateway
 Needs to get this from a DHCP Server
 DHCP Process to get settings information:
– DHCP DISCOVER Packet
• Broadcast
– IP: 255.255.255.255
– MAC: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
– DHCP server Replies with OFFER containing suggested IP address
– Host sends REQUEST asking to use IP Address
– Server replies with ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

DHCP Configuration
 SOHO Networks usually use
an ISR for DHCP
 The basic DHCP Settings:
– Default network address for
gateway on an ISR is normally a
private Class C (192.168.1.1,
192.168.100.1)
– A pool of addresses
– Lease time for address
– Maximum number of hosts
• Can you exceed 20?
 Every host must have this Gateway
address configured
– Either statically or dynamically
– What does this mean? Describe
process

5.4.1 Network Boundaries and Gateways
 Routers for local networks provide gateway for communication
to other networks
 Each Interface on router is a separate network connection
 IP Addresses on interfaces identify networks connected
 ISP Side of the router
– ISPs use DHCP to give addresses to SOHO routers connecting to their
network
– ISRs act as a DHCP client when connecting to ISP
Cisco Discovery Home & Small Business Chapter 5
27
Internet Connection Methods
 Direct Connection
– Single computer connected through a modem
– ISP is assigned directly through modem to a single host
 Connection through ISR – with Modem (WAN Device)
–
–
–
–
Many computers connected to ISR
ISR connected to ISP using connection through modem
ISP assigns address to ISR interface connected to modem
Hosts assigned addresses from ISR
 Connection through Gateway Device – no Modem
–
–
–
–
Many computers connected to ISR
ISR connected to ISP with integrated modem port
ISP assigns address to ISR interface connected to modem
Hosts assigned addresses from ISR

5.4.3 Network Address Translation
 ISP provides public address for ISR to use externally
 ISR provides private addresses used on internal network
 NAT (Network Address Translation) is used to bridge the gap
and match the public and private addresses.
 Packets sent to the Internet have their IP addresses stripped
away and another, external address assigned.
 Reverse process is applied with incoming traffic.

Summary
 IP addresses are unique 32-bit addresses grouped into four 8-bit
bytes called octets.
 IP addresses use a two-part hierarchical structure of network
bits and host bits.
 IP addresses and subnet masks are used by routers to
determine the network location of hosts.
 IP addresses are grouped into classes according to the number
of bits used for designating the network, and further divided into
public and private ranges.
 Private IP addresses must be translated to public IP addresses
in order to move through the Internet.
 IP addresses can be assigned statically or dynamically.
