TCP/IP Addressing & SubnettingUnit objectives• Discuss TCP/IP addressing and determine the
IP address class and default subnet mask• Discuss subnetting and special addressing• Discuss the installation and configuration of
TCP/IP
Topic A
• Topic A: IP addressing• Topic B: Subnetting and special addressing• TCP/IP installation and configuration
Addressing
• Each networked system must be identified as unique
• This is accomplished through the machine’s MAC address
• Each machine must also have a unique IP address
IP Addresses
• Made up of a 32-bit address or four octet address
• The three major IP address classes– Class A– Class B– Class C– There are also Class D and Class E addresses, used for
multicasts (D) and for research (E), but these addresses are not used by any group or. individuals
Address conversion
• An IP address is a 32-bit address, written as four octets or bytes, separated by periods.– For example: 195.143.67.2
• This way of representing an IP address is also known as “dotted decimal” notation
A sample of binary numbers
Binary-to-decimal conversion
• To convert a binary number to a decimal number– Determine the decimal value for each of the bits– Add up the bit values

The middle row here is sometimes called a “binary tree – it runs from right to left, increasing by doubling in each subsequent spot – 1, 2, 4, 8, and so on.
The top row is the binary number, the middle row shows the value of each “1” in the top row. If there is a 1 in the top row, the corresponding value for that spot in the binary tree is brought down to the bottom row. The bottom row is just added to give you the decimal equivalent of the binary number. In this example, 1100 0000 = 128 + 64 = 192.

Discussing IP addresses and conversions
The IP address classes
• Five address classes are supported by TCP/IP: A, B, C, D, and E
• Classes A, B, and C are assigned to the general user community
• Class D addresses are reserved for multicasting
• Class E addresses are reserved for experimental purposes
IP Addressing - (Cisco PPt)
• MAC to IP address translation• IP classes
– Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)– American Registry of Internet Numbers (ARIN)– Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)– Class A– Class B– Class C– Class D– Class E– Private IP ranges
The Class A network • The first octet defines the network portion of the
address• The last three octets are used for subnet masking
and host addresses • A default subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 is assigned for a
Class A network– Subnet masks? The book does get to this later; for now,
it is another 32-bit number in 4 8-bit octet form, just like the IP address. The mask determines which part of the IP address represents the network, and which part the hosts on that network.
The Class B network • The first two octets are used for the network
address• The last two octets are used for subnetting and
host addresses• A default subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 is assigned
for a Class B network• A Class B address is often used when setting up a
moderate- to large-sized network
The Class C network
• The first three octets are used for the network address
• The last octet is used for subnetting and host addresses
• A default mask of 255.255.255.0 is assigned to a Class C network
IPv6
• Addresses are 128 bits• They’re made up of eight 16-bit fields,
allowing for a total of 296 addresses • The fields are represented by 16-bit
hexadecimal numbers • Each field can be from 0 to FFFF (65535 in
decimal) (or 65,536 addresses)

Discussing IP addressing
Managing addresses
• Some potential problems in implementing TCP/IP– Population size– Portability– End users
• The (one of the) standard(s) that has emerged to assist in managing TCP/IP addresses is DHCP
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
• An open standard that is defined within RFC 2131, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
• Microsoft was the first manufacturer to implement DHCP
• Provides an automated means of managing host IP addresses
Other addressing methods• BootP - an earlier attempt to centralize configuration
IP addresses. The address pool is static rather than in a dynamic pool, as with DHCP. Other differences in the following slides.
• Static assignment – You can assign a specific address to a node; useful if you have a device that other devices must find – like a server or a printer, for example.
• Self assignment (APIPA) – You get an APIPA address when your computer can’t find a DHCP server. You can still communicate with other PCs on your network, but you can never get to another network, like the internet.– The APIPA client keeps searching for a DHCP server until it
finds one.

Introducing DHCP
Rick Graziani [email protected] 31
DHCP clients listen on UDP port 67. DHCP servers listen on UDP port 68
BOOTP and DHCP differences
There are two primary differences between DHCP and BOOTP:
• DHCP defines mechanisms through which clients can be assigned an IP address for a finite lease period. – This lease period allows for reassignment of the IP address to another client
later, or for the client to get another assignment, if the client moves to another subnet.
– Clients may also renew leases and keep the same IP address. • DHCP provides the mechanism for a client to gather other IP configuration
parameters, such as WINS and domain name.

DHCP Operation

Remember : ‘Dora’ - Acronym
• Note on how DHCP requests are propagated:• Routers, by default, will not forward broadcast packets. • DHCP client messages use the destination IP address of 255.255.255.255 (all Nets
Broadcast).• So DHCP clients will not be able to send requests to a DHCP server on a different subnet
unless the DHCP/BootP Relay Agent is configured on the router.

Topic B
• Topic A: IP addressing• Topic B: Subnetting and special addressing• TCP/IP installation and configuration
Subnetting • Subnets
–improve network performance and –available bandwidth and –reduce overall traffic levels
A sample subnet
Subnet masks
• Are used to identify the network and host portions of the address
• The network portion identifies where the host is located, and the host portion identifies the device connected to that network
Creating a custom subnet mask• A custom subnet mask tells TCP/IP to consider
some of the bits, which by default would identify a host, as part of the network address
• When a network is divided into subnets, all members of that subnet will have the same network prefix
• Routers divide the networks and provide communication between them
Subnet Addressing - (Cisco PPt)
• Default class subnet masks– Class A subnet mask is 255.0.0.0
11111111.00000000.00000000.00000000– Class B subnet mask is 255.255.0.0
11111111.11111111.00000000.00000000– Class C subnet mask is 255.255.255.0

Discussing subnet masks
Special addressing• There are several special addressing structures• These conventions are documented and used on
the Internet and are part of the Internet Protocol
Private networks
• A private network is one that will not be connecting directly to the Internet
• The term intranet is commonly used to refer to internetworked environments of this type
NAT
• Refers to an IP gateway’s translating “private” network addresses into valid “public” Internet addresses
• When a machine attempts to access the Internet, the IP gateway, using NAT, translates between the internal private address and the valid external / public address for both incoming and outgoing traffic
