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...

Dot Matrix Printer

What is Dot Matrix Printer? A dot matrix printer or impact matrix printer refers to a type of computer printers with a print head that contains a cluster of pins. The pins run back and front on the page and print by impact with striking an ink-soaked cloth ribbon against a paper similar to a typewriter. The Dot-matrix printers can print at a speed of 500 cps. Therefore a low-resolution dot matrix printers use 9 pins and a high-resolution dot matrix printer uses 24 pins. Then the low-resolution dot matrix is use to apply ink on the surface for layout.  In this a printer is able to print different patterns but not only the specific characters. Then a Dot-matrix printers are work as a non-impact method such as laser printers or inkjet printers where they also use the same process for printing. In this each dots produce by a wire or pin which is a tiny metal rod. The tiny electromagnet give the power to move forward directly small levers and a ribbon mask holder which facing the papers...

Blade Server

What is Blade Server? A blade server is a compact, high density, self-contained server that chassis housing multiple thin, modular electronic circuit boards, known as server blades. It is used in the datacenters to save space, minimize power consumption, reduce cooling expenses, redundancy, reduce cabling, increase storage capacity, and reduce energy cost. Each blade is a server in its own right, often dedicate to a single application. It consists of hot-plug hard drives, memory, input/output cards, and network cards. With enterprise-class blade servers, storage is external, and blades are diskless. A blade servers is used for hosting virtual platforms, file sharing, SSL encryption of web communication, streaming audio and video content, database hosting, and application hosting. Blade Server Benefits of Blade Servers The following benefits of blade servers are Minimize Power Consumption Storage Capacity is High Less needs for Cables High Space Saving Scalable Architecture Diskless or ...
