What is the range for experimental addresses?

One major block of addresses reserved for special purposes is the IPv4 experimental address range 240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.254. Currently, they cannot be used in IPv4 networks. However, these addresses could be used for research or experimentation.

Which statements about IPv4 and IPv6 are correct?

How many bits in an IPv4 address?

Pv4 uses 32-bit (four-byte) addresses. which limits the address space to 4,294,967,296 (232) possible unique addresses. However, some are reserved for special purposes such as private networks (~18 million addresses) or multicast addresses (~270 million addresses). This reduces the number of addresses that can potentially be allocated for routing on the public Internet. As addresses are being incrementally delegated to end users, an IPv4 address shortage has been developing.


What method should be used when applying IPv4 addresses to router interfaces on a network?

When applying IPv4 addresses to router interfaces on a network, you would manually configure predictable addresses. For example, the lowest or highest address of the local subnet, on each particular router interface.

IPv4 addresses are 4 bytes. IPv6 IP addresses are 16 bytes.


Explain what the number 0 and the number 255 are used for in IPv4 addressing?

Number 0 is used at the end of an IPv4 address for network identifiers and number 255 is used at end of an IPv4 for broadcast addresses.
