Objectives
Explain the structure IP addressing and demonstrate the ability
to convert between 8-bit binary and decimal numbers.
Given an IPv4 address, classify by type and describe how it is
used in the network.
Explain how addresses are assigned to networks by ISPs and
within networks by administrators.
Determine the network portion of the host address and explain
the role of the subnet mask in dividing networks.
Given IPv4 addressing information and design criteria, calculate
the appropriate addressing components.
Use common testing utilities to verify and test network
connectivity and operational status of the IP protocol stack on a
host.
