An 8-bit binary number. An IPv4 address consists of four of these that are separated by a dot.
Subnet
Octet
Quartet
A 32-bit number that defines which portion of an IPv4 address identifies the network address and which portion of the address defines the host address.
Default Gateway
Subnet Address
Subnet Mask
A nonprofit, private American corporation that oversees global IP address allocation, autonomous system number allocation, root zone management in the Domain Name System, media types, and other Internet Protocol-related symbols and internet numbers.
IANA
Public IP
Private IP
An IP address that is used to access the internet.
Public IP
Private IP
Intranet
An IP address that is used only on an internal network. These IP addresses do not go out on the internet.
Public IP Address
Private IP Address
Network Address
A feature that allows a device to automatically assign itself an IP address on the 169.254.0.0 network when a DHCP server or manual configuration is unavailable.
Static IP Addressing
DHCP
Automatic Private IP Addressing
This special address is also known as home or localhost. This address is reserved by each network interface card (NIC) and is used for testing purposes.
Ping requests can be sent to this address and if returned means that the NIC is capable of sending and receiving data packets.
Broadcast Address
Loopback Address
Network Address
The last valid IP address on a network. It is reserved for specific functions. Any packet sent to this address will be sent to all devices on the network.
Network Address
Host Address
Broadcast Address
The first valid IP address on the network. This address is used for routing purposes to identify the network.
IP Address
Network Address
Default Gateway
The process of dividing a large network into smaller networks.
Subnetting
DHCP
DNS
Subnetting method in which each created subnet has an equal number of addresses.
Fixed-length subnet mask
Variable-length subnet mask
Subnet mask
Subnetting method in which each subnet can be a different size.
Variable-length subnet mask (VLSM)
Fixed-length subnet mask (FLSM)
ANDing
A method for allocating IP addresses and for IP routing. This is a simplified method of writing a network address with a slash followed by the number of bits in the network ID.
ANDing
Subnetting
Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR)
The process used to determine the network address/ID.
ANDing
Subnetting
Reserving
The range of IP addresses that the DHCP server can assign.
IP range
Subnet mask
Exclusions
The structure of an IP address that defines the network ID and host ID.
Subnet mask
Exclusions
Default gateway
IP addresses that the DHCP server will not assign.
Exclusions
Static
DHCP lease time
Static IP addresses that are not dynamically assigned by the DHCP server.
Reservations
Exclusions
Class C
The specified amount of time that an IP configuration assigned by DHCP is valid. It is specified when a device is assigned an IP configuration.
DHCP lease time
Gateway timeout
Latency
This is where data packets that are leaving the network should go to be routed. Also should be your first usable IP address on a network.
Default gateway
Domain Name System
Network address
