IP Address :Every host and router on the internet has an IP address, which encodes its network number and host number. The combination is unique: in principal, no two machines on the Internet have the same IP address. All IP addresses are 32 bits long and are used in the Source Address and Destination address fields of IP packets. NOTE :- IP address does not actually refers to a host, It really refers to a network interface, So if a host is on two networks, It must have two IP addresses. Network addresses which are 32 bit numbers, are usually written in dotted decimal notation. In this format thus Each of the 4 bytes is written in decimal, from 0 to 255.
- 0.0.0.0
Facts :The value 0 means This Network / This host. The value 1 means Broadcasting(To all hosts in the network) All the addresses in format 127.xx.yy.zz are reserved for Loopback testing (NOT sent on wire)
TASK -1
Assign IP address to two different END DEVICES (PC) and simulate the transfer of packets between the both.
We have to assign two IP addresses It can be anonymous keeping in mind the rules of IP addressing which is both the PC(s) should fall under same class i.e. the first bits of IP address should be same for both PC in our case its 116. Let PC0 get 116.18.65.2(Random) Let PC1 get 116.25.24.1 (Random)
Now the next step after configuring the network address is connecting the two PCs via a cable (Copper- Cross over cable in our case) Represented by --------------------------------------------------------------------
Next thing we do is Switch the mode from Real time to Simulation in order to edit the filters and provide only ICMP filter.
Now send a packet of message in order to confirm that the connection is properly done.
Result :Successful set up of a two PC environment using copper cross cable IP addresses configured.
