1. What is Internet Protocol (IP)?

 Internet Protocol is the primary communication


protocol used for relaying data across network
boundaries. Functions include logical addressing and
routing.

2. Which are the two versions of Internet Protocol?


 IPv4 and IPv6

3. Explain IPv4.
 IPv4 is a connectionless protocol for use on packet-
switched Link Layer networks.
 IP (IPv4) use a 32-bit address that will provide
4,294,967,296 (232) possible addresses and has two
parts: Network ID (Portion of the address that
represents the network that a device belongs to) and
Host ID (Portion of the address that represents the host
on a particular network).
 IP addresses are binary numbers but they are usually
stored in text files and displayed in human- readable
notations such as 10.3.5.10

4. List the classes of IPv4.


 Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E.

5. What is Static IP address?


 Administrators can allocate and assign unique non-
changing IP addresses to hosts or computers. Such
addresses are called Static IP address.
6. What is Dynamic IP Address?
 On large networks, administrators automate the IP
address assignment using a special service called the
DHCP that assigns IP addresses automatically; such
dynamically assigned addresses are called Dynamic IP
address.

7. Define Broadcast IP Address.


 Broadcast IP address is an IP address that allows the
data packets to be sent to all the machines on a given
network.
Eg : 172.16.255.255 for 172.16.X.X network.

8. What is Private IP Address?


 Private IP address is an IP address that are used to
communicate within a network which is not used to
connect to the public Internet.

9. What is the use LOOP BACK IP address?


 LOOP BACK address is used to test the network devices
and working of the network protocol.
Eg: 127.0.0.1 Is used as a LOOP BACK IP address.

10. What is the use of PING utility ?.


 PING is a command line utility used for testing network
connectivity. PING is widely used by administrators to
understand and troubleshoot network related issues
particularly at the network layer of the OSI model.
11. Explain IPv6 ?
 An IPv6 address is a 128-bit alphanumeric value that
identifies an endpoint device in an
Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) network.

 CLASS D

 Class D IP addresses are not allocated to hosts and are


used for multicasting.

 Class E IP addresses are not allocated to hosts and are
not available for general use.
