Each computer that is part of the internet must have to installed to connect it to the network?
they all need to be recognized by the host, with an ip address congruent with the host and/or instead of having the workgroup name it needs to be sub name of the host. for instance the host name would be Skybox-Red001, then every other PC that connects will have something like skybox-red002 inregards to the ip address.
What does an IP address do?
An IP address is a number that identifies your computer and the network area it is a part of. Every device directly connected to the internet has a unique address. Home and office machines typically have IP addresses that reflect the hierarchy of the network they are on. You can think of an IP address as being similar to a postal address. It describes where to send data so that it reaches it's destination.
Each computer that is part of a network must have what?
Every computer that is connected to a local area network or LAN should have an Ethernet card. For wireless networks, computers should have a wireless adapter.
Each computer on the Internet has a four-part numeric address This address is called the?
It's called the internet protocol (IP) address.
Which part of an ip packet does the router use to make routing decisions?
the network portion of the destination ip address
What is specified by the host bits in an IP address?
The network part of an IP address indicates the network to which the host belongs. The host bits or host part of an IP address points to the actual device that has an IP address on the network. It can be a computer, printer, router or any device with an IP address that has the same network part.
What the definition of network id?
A network ID refers to a part of a TCP/IP address that is used to identify the subnet that a host may be on. The subnet that the computer is on is determined by the netmask and IP address of the computer. This subnet address is the same as the network ID and is the beginning part of the computers IP address. When the netmask is setup, it is a number where some of the most significant bits have a 1's value and the rest have values of 0. The most significant part of the netmask with bits set to 1's specifies the network address, and the lower part of the address will specify the host address. The part of the IP address that matches the part of the netmask where the bits are set to ones determines the network ID.
What does net mean for an internet address?
When people refer to internet address they mean IP address. This is an address composed of 4 sections separated by periods. There is a associated network mask. The Network mask tells you which of the bits of the IP address refer to the Network, and so which bits refer to the device. Example 192.168.100.0 with a mask of 255.255.255.0 means that only the 4th part is the device address whereas 192.168.100 is the network. This is a class C address which can have 254 devices. It follows that if you don't know the network mask you can't say which part of the IP address is the network!
What is network id host id?
Network IDA network ID refers to a part of a TCP/IP address that is used to identify the subnet that a host may be on. The subnet that the computer is on is determined by the netmask and IP address of the computer. This subnet address is the same as the network ID and is the beginning part of the computers IP address.When the netmask is setup, it is a number where some of the most significant bits have a 1's value and the rest have values of 0. The most significant part of the netmask with bits set to 1's specifies the network address, and the lower part of the address will specify the host address.The part of the IP address that matches the part of the netmask where the bits are set to ones determines the network ID.
What part of an IPv4 address specifies a particular network interface on the network?
The host portion specifies the particular network interface's address. The network portion specifies the network address.
Which part a network layer address does the router use during path determination?
The network address
The first part of an IPv4 address identifies the network and the last part identifies the?
host address
If Mac address then why IP address?
MAC addresses, unlike IP Addresses, are not divided into "host" and "network" portions. Therefore, a host cannot determine from the MAC address of another host whether that host is on the same layer 2 network segment as the sending host or a network segment bridged to that network segment. This is kinda simplified, The MAC address is hardware related. It identifies the "machine". It can't be changed without exchanging the part. Where as the IP number identifies the "computer" in a "network". You can give the computer different "address's". It tells them the information as in the answer above. Kinda like your home address number and your Social Security number. Your SSN is your MAC address and your home address is your IP#. It tells you what state, county, city and street you live in. If you change houses then you change address's.
What does the 4 octets in an IP address stand for?
The four octets make up a complete address. The first part refers to a network, the remainder an individual computer in a host; however, the exact size of this "first part" may vary.
What is a public ip different then network id?
An "ip address" is a complete source or destination address that has a network id portion and a client or host portion. The network id is just a piece of the IP address. So, a public ip is an IP address that can be routed, whereas the network id is just a part of the public ip. They aren't different; the network id is part of the ip address.
Each computer that is part of a network must have?
network interface card (nic)
How many types of addresses are used in IP protocol?
The simple answer is there are two types of addresses used in IP protocols.The first type:The first would be the MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is typically burned in, or permanently programed into ROM (Read Only Memory) which resides on the NIC (Network Interface Card).In theory every MAC address in the world is unique. The first part of the MAC address indicates the card manufacture, and then the remainder uniquely identifies the NIC card.A MAC address is represented as six 2 digit hexadecimal numbers; like 00:0d:83:b1:c0:8eThe second type:The second type of IP address would be the network address. This is a logical address assigned to the NIC.To keep it simple let's just consider an IPv4 address. An IPv4 address is a 32 bit address separated into four 8 bit octets. An IPv4 address looks like 10.1.16.1The IP network addresses assigned to each NIC needs to fit into the network that the computer is part of.Assume the subnet that a computer and its NIC are part of, or connected to be 10.1.16.0 with a mask of /24. The network mask is how we know how much of the 32 bit IPv4 addressed is being used by the network portion of the address.In this example the 10.1.16.1 address is part of the 10.1.16.0 network.The network mask is 11111111.1111111.1111111.0 is the same as /24, is the same as 255.255.255.0The network address is 00001010.0000001.00010000.00000000. The last 8 bits are for host or computer NICsThe first usable network IP address is 00001010.0000001.00010000.10000000 or 10.1.16.1 and the last is 10.1.16.254. The 10.1.16.255 would be reserved as the broadcast address. The next network would be 10.1.17.0Hope this helps…
