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

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

  What is Virtual Private Network (VPN)? A virtual private network (VPN) is a secure connection between two private networks over a public network (in other words, over the Internet). All the data that flows over the VPN is encrypted. So anyone who steals packets from the VPN will find them unintelligible; only the parties on either end of the VPN are able to decrypt the packets. VPN connections are often called tunnels. Because they provide an isolated pathway from one point to another through the Internet. The only way to gain meaningful access to a VPN tunnel is at either end. Example for VPN Connections VPNs are used for There are two common uses for VPNs: To provide remote workers with secure access to your company network: To do that, you set up a VPN on the router, and then provide your remote workers with the credentials necessary to access the VPN. The remote workers can run a software VPN client on their home computers or laptops to connec...
