When the host portion of an IP address is all binary ones?

The host portion of an IP address of all zeros indicates that you are referring to 'this network'. For example, the address 145.5.0.0 means the network 145.5


What is used to of an IPaddress from the network address separate the host address portion?

To seprate an ip address from the network address we use subnet mask that can seprate the ip address from the network address


Which value represents the host portion of IP address 128.107.10.11 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0?

Seeing as the IP address of 128.107.10.11 is a class B network, the host portion is 10.11


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.


What is unique about network IP addresses?

An IP address must be unique within a LAN; the combination of the network and host portion must present a number that is not duplicated anywhere else in the network. Outside of a LAN the IP addresses do not have to be unique, except that the network id portion can only be used by the organization that owns the IP network address. The host portion does not need to be unique across all LANs within an enterprise network.


Which dotted decimal number is used to distinguish the network portion of an IP address from the host portion?

Subnet mask


Which dotted decimal number is used to distinguish the network portion of an ip address from host portion?

subnet masks


What is the network address of ip address 192.150.8.24?

The network address of this ip address is 192.150.8 and 24 is host ip address


Why do you AND ing the subnet and ip address?

Because this is the way you can easily and quickly isolate the network portion from the host portion of the address to just get the network id, which would be using for routing purposes.


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 is used to separate the host address portion of an IP address from the network address?

The subnet mask is used for this purpose. It indicates how much of the address is for network, and the remaining part is for the hosts.


What type of address does the IP protocol use to identify a unique network and host?

The IP protocol uses a numerical address known as an IP address to uniquely identify a network and a host within that network. An IPv4 address consists of four octets (e.g., 192.168.1.1), while an IPv6 address is longer and uses hexadecimal notation (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334). Each address is divided into two parts: the network portion, which identifies the specific network, and the host portion, which identifies the individual device on that network.
