IP & MAC Addresses

What is the purpose of a MAC address?

• To route packets on a wide area network

• To route frames on a local area network

• To control devices remotely via apps

• To identify a host computer on the internet

How many bits is an IPv4 address?

• 128 bits

• 32 bits

• 16 bits

• 64 bits

What is the range of each number in an IPv4 address?

• 0 to 127

• 0 to 255

• 0 to 1024

• 0 to 512

What is the main reason for the invention of IPv6?

• To identify a host computer on the internet

• To control devices remotely via apps

• To replace IPv4 due to running out of unique static addresses

• To route frames on a local area network

How is an IPv6 address written?

• As six pairs separated by colons

• As four numbers separated by periods

• As two parts separated by a hyphen

• As eight groups separated by colons

What is the approximate number of combinations of IPv6 addresses?

• 340 trillion trillion trillion

• 9 billion

• 4 billion

• 50 billion

What is the main difference between a MAC address and an IP address?

• MAC addresses are 32 bits in size, while IP addresses are 128 bits in size

• MAC addresses are used for wide area networks, while IP addresses are used for local area networks

• MAC addresses are unique to every network interface card, while IP addresses are unique to every host device

• MAC addresses are written as eight groups separated by colons, while IP addresses are written as four numbers separated by periods

What is the purpose of the first part of an IP address?

• To identify the network the traffic needs to go to

• To control devices remotely via apps

• To identify the specific host device within the network the traffic needs to go to

• To route frames on a local area network

What is the total number of available IPv4 addresses?

• 9 billion

• 50 billion

• 340 trillion trillion trillion

• 4 billion

What is the main reason for the need to replace IPv4 with IPv6?

• To route frames on a local area network

• To control devices remotely via apps

• To identify a host computer on the internet

• Unique static addresses are running out
