NETWORK ADDRESSES

In this lesson, you should be able to:

* Understand what Network (IP) Address is;
* Differentiate IPv4 and IPv6; and
* Determine the details necessary t connect into a network.
NETWORK ADDRESS – serves as a unique identifiers
assigned to each node on a network. When setup correctly,
computers can network and talk to each other and share
information.
NETWORK IP ADDRESS – is a set of numbers called “octets”
that identifies any network device.
-> For easier readability, write it in dotted decimal.
e.g. 192.168.1.1
-> Each octet in the series is a decimal value of 8 bits of binary
number or 1 byte. Each octet have a value range 0-255 only.
e.g. 00000000 = 0
11111111 = 255
IPv4 Address(used 32bit) / IPv6 (used 128bit) – is the specific
version or type of IP Address.

Gateway -> is a node that serves as the access point on a

network – typically router.

SUBNET MASKS -> are used to set or assign a logical network

within a network.
