How many public IP addresses are needed for a small network?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Here are a few scenarios:

Single Device: If you have a very small network consisting of only one device that needs to communicate with the internet, such as a home computer or a small office server, then only one public IP address is typically needed.

Small LAN (Local Area Network): For a small LAN with multiple devices but minimal external connectivity requirements, such as a home network with several computers, smartphones, and smart devices, a single public IP address can be used with NAT to allow all devices to access the internet through the router's single public IP address.

Multiple Servers or Services: If your small network includes multiple servers or services that need to be accessible directly from the internet (such as web servers, email servers, or remote access services), you may need additional public IP addresses to assign to each server/service. However, it's also common to use port forwarding and/or reverse proxy setups to route traffic to these services using a single public IP address.

VPN (Virtual Private Network): If your small network requires VPN access for remote users or branch offices, you may need additional public IP addresses to support VPN connections, depending on the VPN configuration and requirements.

What is a client?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A client is the requesting program or user in a client/server relationship. For example, the user of a Web browser is effectively making client requests for pages from servers all over the Web. The browser itself is a client in its relationship with the computer that is getting and returning the requested HTML file. The computer handling the request and sending back the HTML file is a server.

Compare IEEE 802.11 and osi model?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

OSI Model layer functions (cont.):

Network: Provides best path selection and IP addressing

Data Link: Defines how computers access the media

  • Physical: Converts bits into signals and defines media and connectors

The IEEE 802 project defines a set of networking standards to ensure that network interfaces and cabling from multiple manufacturers would be compatible. The IEEE 802.2 standard specifies a Logical Link Control (LLC) and Media Access Control (MAC) sublayer

How do you find out your subnet mask and gateway for a Windows ME computer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First go to start, programs, accessories, MS-DOS Prompt. In the window type 'ipconfig /all' without parentheses, then press enter.

  • First you determine the class of your network
  • then, use the appopriate subnet mask for that network,

a. Class A 255.0.0.0 b. Class B 255.255.0.0 c. Class C 255.255.255.0

  • Get IP address of the host

Example: 197.15.22.0.

  • Using the ANDing process, get the subnet mask.

Disadvantages of setting up a network?

Asked by Wiki User

Wired networks require wires! so they must be run through walls, floors and have the potential of being damaged or loosened thereby shutting down the network and requiring the problem to be located.

How do you set up a LAN connection?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You connect two or more computers with a switch. You will need a device to act as a DHCP server and probably a DNS server. If that all sounds over your head, you should probably call someone.

A home router will function as both DHCP and DNS server, and would set up the lan connection for you.

What is Ethernet used for?

Asked by Wiki User

Answer--Ethernet is a protocol that controls the way data is transmitted over a local area network (LAN).

Advantages of connecting your business to the Ethernet is its Simplicity, Pricing and Flexibility in its installation.Ethernet Shopper provides you faster Ethernet connectivity at a lower prices and less expensive than traditional DSL, T1, or DS3 solution Ethernet Shopper analyzes your location for availability of Ethernet internet connection and sends out pricing information to your email address within seconds.

What are ethernet cables used for?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ethernet is one of the most widespread local area network technologies currently in use. It is extremely useful for any small networks where cost, reliability, and ease of setup is of high importance. Ethernet is used to cover wide area networks. And the main advantage of connecting your business with Ethernet is Simplicity, Flexibility and Pricing.

Ethernet currently utilized with DSL modems is 10BASE-T. This provides transmission speeds of up to 10Mbps, which is significantly faster than the fastest DSL line speed.

802.11n is wireless. This means that (a) it isn't Ethernet, it is a different standard. (b) It doesn't use cables.

The maximum speed (bandwidth, to be more accurate) is 600 Mbps.

What are the similarities between OSI model and TCP IP model?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

SIMILARITIES

The main similarities between the two models include the following:

They share similar architecture. - Both of the models share a similar architecture. This can be illustrated by the fact that both of them are constructed with layers.

They share a common application layer.- Both of the models share a common "application layer". However in practice this layer includes different services depending upon each model.

Both models have comparable transport and network layers.- This can be illustrated by the fact that whatever functions are performed between the presentation and network layer of the OSI model similar functions are performed at the Transport layer of the TCP/IP model.

Knowledge of both models is required by networking professionals.- According to article obtained from the internet networking professionals "need to know both models". (Source:

Both models assume that packets are switched.- Basically this means that individual packets may take differing paths in order to reach the same destination.

Which network topology least secure?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Token Ring. Nothing can communicate without the token, therefore there is never more than one device transmitting at a time, but it's very inefficient.

If you want the most efficient Ethernet topology, Full Mesh would be the most efficient traffic-wise, but not cost-effective. A Hierarchical topology would be a decent compromise between cost effectiveness and efficiency.
