The general rule in networking is that the network id cannot be all zeroes or all ones, and the host id cannot be all zeroes or all ones.
The all zero address results in a reserved address meaning "this network".
The all ones address is a broadcast address, and cannot be assigned to a single system.
What else can I help you with?
Ould a network administrator assign to a network address of 172.30.1.0 if it were possible to have up to 254 hosts?
No, end devices cannot have .0 address assigned to them. It loosely refers to the entire network subnet.
Can 255.255.255.255 have hosts?
No, 255.255.255.255 is a special address known as the limited broadcast address in IPv4. It is used to send packets to all hosts on the local network segment and cannot be assigned to any individual host. Therefore, it does not have hosts associated with it.
Do the number of hosts that can be assigned stay the same when prefix changes?
no having a different prefix number changes the host range and broadcast address for each network
Is it in class a in each network have 16777214 hosts?
In Class A networks, the maximum number of hosts is calculated as (2^{24} - 2), which equals 16,777,214 hosts. This formula accounts for the network and broadcast addresses, which cannot be assigned to hosts. Class A networks use the first octet for the network identifier, allowing for a large number of hosts within a single network. However, not every Class A network will have the maximum number of hosts; it depends on the specific subnetting used.
What is 169.255.255.0?
The IP address 169.255.255.0 is part of the larger address block designated for link-local addresses in the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4). This specific address is technically reserved and is not typically assigned to hosts on a network. Instead, link-local addresses are used for communication within a local network segment. In practice, addresses in the 169.254.0.0/16 range are automatically assigned to devices when they cannot obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.
What represents a network address that all hosts on a network must read?
broadcast address
What are Hosts on a network?
Any computer which is connected to network and has unique ip address for the network.
A network administrator is building a network for a small business that has 22 hosts the ISP has assigned only one internet routable IP address which IP address block can the network administrator use?
The administrator can set up a Local Area Network (LAN) behind a firewall in which he can assign whatever IP address block he wishes. The firewall and router will then need to be configured to Network Address Translate (NAT) the 'hidden' internal IP addresses used on the LAN to the one assigned by the ISP when network traffic needs to leave the LAN.
Why is 255.255.255.255 the greatest IPv4 address?
The address 255.255.255.255 is considered the greatest IPv4 address because it is the highest possible value for each of the four octets in the 32-bit address space. It is a special address known as the limited broadcast address, used to broadcast messages to all hosts on the local network segment. Unlike regular IP addresses assigned to devices, it cannot be assigned to any individual host. Hence, it represents the maximum value in the IPv4 addressing scheme.
What defines an IPv4 logical network?
Hosts with the same network portion of their IPv4 address.
Which type of address sends messages to all network hosts?
That is called a broadcast address.
What is the range of usable IP addresses for 10.150.100.96 27?
That leaves us 5 bits for the host (32 - 27 = 5); the size of the network is 25 = 32 IP addresses, that is, addresses 10.150.100.96 - 10.150.100.127. The first and last address are not usable (can't be assigned to hosts), which leaves us with addresses 10.150.100.97 - 10.150.100.126.That leaves us 5 bits for the host (32 - 27 = 5); the size of the network is 25 = 32 IP addresses, that is, addresses 10.150.100.96 - 10.150.100.127.
