    This document provides a lesson summary on network bridges and IP addressing. The key points covered are: Bridges operate at layer 2 and have limited data forwarding abilities as they can only tell if an address is on their segment, not where it is located. This leads to inefficient broadcasting. IP addresses must be used on wide area networks and are assigned hierarchically by network administrators, containing both host and network location. The IP address will change if the device's location changes.

    Network I Lesson 7

    Student Objectives: After completing this lesson, students will be able to: recall how bridges operate in layer 2 describe how bridge data forwarding decisions are limited analyze the effects of broadcasts over a network define IP addressing compare MAC and IP addressing identify the OSI layer for IP addresses

    Terms: broadcast - all machines must listen to the data sent to all nodes broadcast storm - occurs when too many broadcasts are sent simultaneously IP address - 32 bit addressing using TCP/IP Flat addressing scheme - MAC address - unique sequentially issued addresses hierarchical address scheme - IP address - uses codes for each segment of address Lesson Summary: bridges are inefficient - because they can tell if an address is or isn on their segment - but t not where the address is - so it sends the data to all addresses IP addresses must be used on WANs IP addresses are assigned by a person administering the network - resident in software IP address are unique - contains the device address (host) and the network the device is locate don the IP address changes if the device location changes
