How is an IPv4 address structured?
An IPv4 address is a 32-bit value written as four decimal octets separated by periods.
What are the place values of an octet’s bits?
The bit place values, from left to right, are 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, and 1.
What do the 1s and 0s in a subnet mask identify?
A subnet mask is a 32-bit value whose 1 bits mark the network prefix and whose 0 bits mark the host portion.
What is the rule for each bit in a bitwise AND?
A bitwise AND produces 1 only when both corresponding input bits are 1.
What does the number after the slash mean in CIDR notation?
The number after the slash gives the number of leading bits in the network prefix.
How many addresses are in a /26 block?
A prefix of length p contains 232−p addresses; therefore, a /26 block has 26=64 addresses.
What are the size and value range of an IPv4 octet?
Each octet contains 8 bits and ranges from 0 to 255.
What decimal value does binary 01001101 represent?
Add the place values of the bits that are 1: 64+8+4+1=77.
What is 192.168.10.77 in binary?
11000000.10101000.00001010.01001101
What makes a subnet mask contiguous?
In a valid contiguous mask, all the 1 bits come first, followed by all the 0 bits.
What network address results from ANDing 192.168.10.77 with 255.255.255.192?
192.168.10.64
How many network bits and host bits are in a /26 prefix?
It has 26 network bits and 6 host bits.
