In this assignment, I reviewed and got more practice with IP addressing, covering several basic topics touched on by previous NET classes.

• Converting decimal addresses into binary.
• Annotating binary place values within an IP octet.
• Converting binary netmasks into CIDR notation.
• Determining Net and Host IDs from an IP with a netmask.
• Collecting various network information from our local network.
• Looking into recent news regarding IPv6 adoption.

The prompt:

Write the following IP addresses in binary - and show the place values (128's, 64's, 32's, 16's, 8's, 4's, 2's, 1's) for one of the octets so we can see how they relate:

153.104.38.182

129.179.18.220

216.93.155.242

My answer:

The prompt:

Write the following networks in CIDR notation (e.g. 16.156.268.0/24)

132.56.64.0 mask 255.255.248.0

212.12.8.128 mask 255.255.255.224

82.213.8.0 mask 255.255.240.0

My answer:

The prompt:

Given the following, write the IP address and Network Mask in binary:

a) 236.153.42.225 netmask /22

b) 23.34.218.146 netmask /26

c) 178.27.16.207 netmask /23

My answer:

The prompt:

For the question above - what is the Net ID and Host ID for a, b, and c

My answer:

The prompt:

While connected to your home network, gather your IP information and document the following:

IPv4 Address:

Netmask:

Default Gateway:

Host ID:

Net ID:

IPv6 Address

My answer:
