For
Class A
host ID will be 8 / 24
Since this is a class C network address, the host id is 24, the network id is 201.123.87.0
An identifier for a host. A host ID uniquely identifies a host within an address family on a network but does not identify the network. A host ID is not necessarily sufficient to establish communications with a host. foe example:- In a class C IP address say, 192.52.56.8 the first 3 octets denote the net ID while the last octet shows the host ID.
Host ID
An IP address has 2 levels of hierarchy: network ID and host ID. The network ID identifies the network the host is connected to .The host ID identifies the host on the network.In your computer, in order to know the IP address of the system, use the run prompt in which ipconfig/all command will give the ip address of the system.Answer 2:To find out your external ip which is what is really important if you are doing port forwarding and other tasks use the site: whatismyip.com.
Class A
Assuming that the IP address is a classfull IP, we know that it is a Class B address because a Class B IP address ranges from 128 - 191. In a class B address the default subnet mask is 255.255.0 (or /16). Therefore the net ID would be 137.56.0.0 and the Host ID would be x.x.8.6. "x" meaning the network ID.
To find the Network ID and Host ID from an IP address you need to use a Subnet Mask. The address 220.43.6.8 is a class C IP address (Since the range of Class C address is 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255).The standard default mask for class C is 255.255.255.0Network address = (IP address) Boolean AND (Subnet mask)Hence,network address = 220.43.6.8 AND 255.255.255.0 = 220.43.6(since 255 means all 1s in binary, hence it'll give the same bits which are ANDed with it, whereas 0 means all 0s in binary, hence it'll give answer as 0 irrespective of what bits are ANDed with it)Hence Host Address would be the remaining part of IP address = 8
class A
A subnet mask is used for this purpose.
254
The subnet mask is used for this purpose; it divides the IP address into two parts, the network id, and the host id.
In networking, the network ID identifies a specific network segment and is used to route packets to the appropriate network. The host ID identifies a specific device (or host) within that network. The broadcast ID is a special address used to send messages to all devices on a network segment simultaneously, usually represented by the highest address in the subnet. Together, these IDs help in organizing and managing network communications efficiently.
