Internet Protocol Address (IP Address)

Internet Protocol Address (IP Address) Explained

           IP-ADDRESS is a logical address or software address which mentions the network & host in Hierarchical manner. It is a 32 bit address in 4 Octet Eight.

There are two types of IP Addresses

  • Public IP Address
  • Private IP Address

e.g.     1st Octet             2nd                   3rd                       4th

         11111111  .   11111111     .  11111111   .11111111     = 32 bit

            (eight)                  (eight)                     (8)             (eight)

                                    10          0  0  5

                                  Net ID     Host ID

CLASSES OF IP- ADDRESS

The classes of IP Addresses have 5 types of classes they are

CLASS                                          RANGE

A                                                1-126  ( 127- loopback address (or) Self Pinging Address)   To check the connectivity of LAN

B                                                128-191

C                                                192-223

D (Multicasting)                       224-239

E  ( Defense & Research)       240-255

Small concept: 1         1        1       1        1        1       1        1

                        128     64      32     16       8        4       2        1

e.g.  255    255        255

      -128     -64        -32

      127      191        223

ISP- INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER (PUBLIC ADDRESS FOR WAN)

 From ISP only we get IP-ADDRESS

PRIVATE IP – ADDRESS

CLASS A :- 10.0.0.0  to 10.0.0.255

            10.0.0.0 for 1 N/W Max IP-Addresses possible in Class A - 2536*256*256 = 1,67,77,216

CLASS B:-172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255

[ Private N/W = 16] Max IP-Addresses for 1 N/W in Class B  - 256*256 =65,536

CLASS C :- 192.168.3. to 192.168.255.255

            Max IP-Addresses for 1 N/W  in Class C – 256 =256

HOST ID

             IP Addresses of the Host is called as Host ID

e.g.   CLASS A         CLASS B             CLASS C

            10.0.0.1       172.168.10.1          192.168.10.1

NET ID

            The network Address of the Host is called as Net ID

e.g. CLASS A        CLASSB               CLASS C

       10.0.0.0            172.168.0.0          192.168.0.0

DEFAULT GATEWAY

             It is the IP-Addresses given in a network ,which enables all the client computers to communicate with Router . The starting Address of any N/W should be the gateway Address for that N/W.




EASY TABULATION

                                       CLASS A             CLASSB             CLASS C

IP-ADDRESSES             1 to 126                   128 to 191             192 to 223

HOST ID                    N.H.H.H                  N.N.H.H                 N.N.N.H
NET ID                       N.0.0.0                     N.N.0.0                  N.N.N.0
SUBNET MASK        255.0.0.0                  255.255.0.0           255.255.255.0

Printer

What is Printer? Another widely used output device is a printer and it is a computer peripheral device. A printer produces a hard copy of a processed text or a result. A hard copy refers to a permanent human-readable text or graphics taken on physical print media such as paper or transparency. A printer will use toner to provide a quality print on paper, a toner is a replaceable material. Once the toner gets empty we can refill it and reuse it.  Most of the printers are used for commercial purposes such as private offices, industries, government offices, photo studios, etc,. Most of the printers are used to print emails, documents, files, images, color photos, color documents, color posts, banners, advertisement posters, etc,. There are the following 5 types of printers such as dot matrix printer, inkjet printer, laser printer, dye-sublimation printer, and plotter printer this are all the printer which uses nowadays for a printing purpose. A printer is characterized by the followin...

Optical Disk Drives

What is Optical Drives? Optical Drives is a hardware device which used for reading and writing  a data in CD and DVD Disc. It uses electromagnetic waves to produce visible light spectrum which provide a read/write data process in optical disc. The CD was develop by Sony and Denon which is introduce in 1984 and the storage capacity is 650 MB. The DVD is develop by Panasonic, Sony, and Toshiba which is introduce in 1995 and the storage capacity is 4.7 GB. Types of Optical Disk Drives Some of the commonly used optical storage devices compact disks are Compact Disk Read Only Memory (CD-ROM) Compact Disk Recordable (CD-R) Compact Disk Rewritable (CD-RW) Compact Disk Digital Video Disc (DVD) Types of Optical Disk Drives Compact Disk Read Only Memory (CD-ROM) The Compact Disk Read Only Memory it contains data were computers can read but not write or erase in CD-ROM it is a type of read-only memory. In the 1990s CD-ROM was use for software and data distribution for the computer. Some ...

IP Routing

What is IP Routing? IP routing is the field of routing methodologies of Internet Protocol (IP) packets within and across IP networks. This involves not only protocols and technologies but includes the policies of the worldwide organization and configuration of Internet infrastructure. In each IP network node, the following IP routing involves the determination of a suitable path for a network packets from a source to its destination in an IP network. Therefore the process uses static configuration rules or dynamically obtained status information to select specific packet forwarding methods to direct traffic to the next available intermediate network node one hop closer to the desired final destination, a total path potentially spanning multiple computer networks. Networks are separated from each other by specialized hosts, called gateways or routers with specialized software support optimized for routing...
