This chapter covers the following exam topics:
2. Addressing and Subnet Formats
2.1 Compare and contrast private addresses and public addresses. Each IP address must be unique on the network
2.2 Identify IPv4 addresses and subnet formats. Subnet concepts, Subnet Calculator, slash notation, and subnet mask; broadcasts do not go outside the subnet
2.3 Identify IPv6 addresses and prefix formats.
Types of addresses, prefix concepts
The overview of shipping in the previous chapter assumed at least an addressing scheme and a physical transport system. Later chapters will look at the physical infrastructure of networking; this chapter focuses on addresses. There are four kinds of addresses you will normally encounter in networking:
• Physical, or Media Access Control (MAC) addresses
• Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) addresses
• Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses
• Port numbers
This chapter begins by considering the two dimensions of an addresses scope and then discusses each kind of address in a separate section.
