Network Addressing Midterm Reviewer (Identification Section)

1. **IP Address**:
- A unique identifier for a device on a network.
- IPv4 addresses are 32 bits, written as four decimal numbers separated by
periods (e.g., 192.168.1.1).

2. **Subnet Mask**:
- A 32-bit number used to separate the network portion from the host portion of
an IP address.
- Common examples: 255.0.0.0, 255.255.0.0, 255.255.255.0.

3. **Network ID**:
- The first address in a network, where all the host bits are set to 0.

4. **Broadcast Address**:
- The last address in a network, where all the host bits are set to 1.

5. **Valid Hosts**:
- The range of IP addresses in a network between the network ID and broadcast
address, which can be assigned to devices.

6. **Class A IP Address**:
- IP address range from 0.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255.
- Default subnet mask: 255.0.0.0.

7. **Class B IP Address**:
- IP address range from 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255.
- Default subnet mask: 255.255.0.0.

8. **Class C IP Address**:
- IP address range from 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255.
- Default subnet mask: 255.255.255.0.

9. **Class D IP Address**:
- IP address range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
- Reserved for multicast.

10. **Class E IP Address**:


- IP address range from 240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255.
- Reserved for experimental purposes.

11. **CIDR Notation**:


- Stands for Classless Inter-Domain Routing.
- Used to define a subnet mask in the format of an IP address followed by a
slash and the number of network bits (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24).

12. **Private IP Address**:


- IP addresses used for internal networks that cannot be routed on the internet.
- Examples:
- Class A: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
- Class B: 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
- Class C: 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

13. **Public IP Address**:


- Globally unique IP addresses assigned to devices on the internet.

14. **Subnetting**:
- The process of dividing a network into smaller sub-networks.

15. **Default Gateway**:


- The IP address of a router that serves as an access point to other networks or
the internet.

16. **NAT (Network Address Translation)**:


- A method of remapping one IP address space into another by modifying network
address information in packet headers.

17. **DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)**:


- A protocol used to automatically assign IP addresses and other network
configurations to devices on a network.

18. **Unicast Address**:


- An IP address that identifies a single recipient for network communication.

19. **Multicast Address**:


- An IP address that identifies a group of recipients for network communication.

20. **Broadcast Address**:


- An address that sends data to all devices on the network.

21. **Loopback Address**:


- An address used for testing the local device (e.g., 127.0.0.1).
