What devices do you need to consider when counting devices in your network that need IP addresses?

Basically, any device that needs to communicate with another device on an IP network will require an IP address. so, each PC and router will need an address, along with anything else per above: a switch, a server, and IP phone, etc.

What is the utility used to dynamically assign IP addresses to network devices?
dhcp
What does lpv6 offer?
More unique ip addresses, so essentially more devices on the network.
Which type of network device keeps a table of the MAC addresses of the devices connected to it?
The correct answer is switch.
Why the all zeros and all ones addresses are usually not assigned as host IP addresses?
These addresses are not assigned to devices because they have a reserved meaning. All zeroes refers to "this network", and all ones usually is assigned to a broadcast address (all devices).
What service can configure a server to provide ip addresses automatically to all the computers and other network devices on a particular network?
The DHCP service.
What describes a public network?
Computers that are connected to each other create a network. These networks are often configured with "public" internet Protocol (IP) addresses -- that is, the devices on the network are "visible" to devices outside the network (from the Internet or another network). Networks can also be configured as "private" -- meaning that devices outside the network cannot "see" or communicate directly to them.
Who is server for dhcp?
It is what... DHCP is designed to automatically distributed IP addresses to connected to the same network devices.
What best describes a public network?

These networks are often configured with "public" Internet Protocol (IP) addresses -- that is, the devices on the network are "visible" to devices outside the network (from the Internet or another network). Networks can also be configured as "private" -- meaning that devices outside the network cannot "see" or communicate directly to them.
Where is the OUI used?
OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) is used in MAC addresses of network devices to identify the manufacturer or vendor of the device. It helps in organizing and managing network traffic, troubleshooting network issues, and ensuring security by identifying the origins of devices connected to the network.
What technology is used to allow or deny traffic over the network based on the physical addresses of the devices?
MAC Filtering
If a network includes 50 devices which subnet mask provides enough addresses while not wasting addresses?
If you are using a DHCP server, you are basically safe. It's a good practice to release all ip addresses after certain time especially if you have temporary computer in the network.
What effect will it have on the network if two devices from two different manufacturer share the last 24 bits of their mac addresses?
It should not cause any problems on the network since the first 24 bits of the MAC addresses are different.
