Trace the history of IP addressing from ARPANET to the four-number dotted scheme, and discover how Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf shaped IPv4 and IPv6 to sustain global connectivity.
Explore home networks from LAN to internet, and see how IP addresses, MAC addresses, routers, and hops enable communication.
Learn how MAC addresses serve as hardcoded, unique physical identifiers at the data link layer, how they differ from IP addresses, and their role in DHCP discovery and address assignment.
Explore IPv4 addressing by analyzing the 32-bit, four-octet structure, using 192.168.0.1 as an example, and grasp the range 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255.
Explain why IPv6 was created to address IPv4 exhaustion, define IPv6 as a 128-bit address of eight 16-bit hexadecimal fields, and show Windows ipconfig steps to view and assign addresses.
Discover how to verify internet connectivity by checking IP assignment, enabling automatic IP and DNS, and using ping and ipconfig to test the gateway and internet access.
Explore how IPv4 addresses are classified into A to E by the first octet and priority bits, with unicast for A-C, multicast for D, and E for research and development.
Explore how Class A, B, and C IP addresses divide into network and host portions and compare subnet masks 255.0.0.0, 255.255.0.0, and 255.255.255.0. See why Class A hosts dominate.
Learn how to compute IPv4 network and broadcast addresses by zeroing or setting ones in the host portion, determine the valid range, and apply class A, B, and C examples.
Assess two computers to determine if they can connect by examining their network IDs. Show that devices share the 192.168.1.0 network ID, enabling direct connections, while different IDs prevent connections.
Learn the difference between private and public IP addresses, including private ranges: 10.x.x.x for class a, 172.16.x.x for class b, and 192.168.x.x for class c, used in local networks.
Explore how subnet masks separate the network and host portions and identify the network ID by ANDing an IP with its mask, with class A, B, and C examples.
