Module Overview

IPv4 is the network protocol used on the Internet and local area networks (LANs). To ensure that you can
understand and troubleshoot network communication, it is essential that you understand how IPv4 is
implemented. In this module, you will learn how to plan an IPv4 addressing scheme, in addition you will
learn how to implement an IPv4 addressing scheme, and determine and troubleshoot network-related

problems.

Objectives
After completing this module, you will be able to:
•

Plan IPv4 addressing.

•

Configure an IPv4 host.

•

Manage and troubleshoot IPv4 network connectivity.


Planning and implementing an IPv4 network

Lesson 1

Planning IPv4 addressing

MCT USE ONLY. STUDENT USE PROHIBITED

1-2

Understanding IPv4 network communication is critical to ensuring that you can implement, troubleshoot,
and maintain IPv4 networks. One of the core components of IPv4 is addressing. By understanding
addressing, subnet masks, and default gateways, you can identify proper communication between hosts.

To identify IPv4 communication errors, you need to understand how the communication process is
designed to work.

Lesson Objectives
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
•

Describe IPv4 settings.

•

Define IPv4 subnets.

•

Identify public, private, and APIPA IPv4 addresses.

•

Explain how to determine IPv4 notation and translation.

•

Describe how to create a subnetting scheme for a new office.

•

Describe how to create IPv4 supernets.

Overview of IPv4 settings

To configure network connectivity, you must be
familiar with IPv4 addresses and how they work.
Network communication for a computer is
directed to the IPv4 address of that computer.
Therefore, each networked computer must be
assigned a unique IPv4 address.
Each IPv4 address is 32 bits long, where a bit is the
smallest unit of measurement in binary math,
represented by either a 1 or a 0. To make IP
addresses more readable, they are displayed in
dotted decimal notation. Dotted decimal notation
divides a 32-bit IPv4 address into four groups of 8
bits, which are converted to a decimal number between zero and 255. A decimal point separates
the decimal numbers. Each decimal number is called an octet. For example, a 32-bit address of
10101100.00010000.00000000.00001010 could be difficult to read. This IP address is represented in
dotted decimal as: 172.16.0.10.

How a dotted decimal notation relates to binary numbers

When you assign IP addresses, you use a dotted decimal notation. Dotted decimal notations are based
on the decimal number system. However, in the background, computers use IP addresses in binary. To
properly design an IPv4 addressing scheme for complex networks, you must understand IP addresses in
binary.

Within an 8-bit octet, each bit position has a decimal value. A bit that is set to 0 always has a zero value. A
bit that is set to 1 can be converted to a decimal value. The low order bit is the rightmost bit in the octet,
and it represents a decimal value of 1. The high order bit is the leftmost bit in the octet, and it represents

a decimal value of 128. If all bits in an octet are set to 1, then the octet’s decimal value is 255, that is: 128
+ 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1. 255 is the highest possible value of an octet.
Most of the time, you can use a calculator to convert decimal numbers to binary and vice versa. The
Windows operating systems include the Calculator app that can perform decimal-to-binary conversions,
as shown in the following example.

Subnet mask

Each IPv4 address is composed of a network identification (ID) and a host ID. The network ID identifies the
network on which the computer is located. The host ID uniquely identifies the computer on that specific
network. A subnet mask identifies which part of an IPv4 address is the network ID and which part is the
host ID.
In the simplest scenarios, each octet in a subnet mask is either 255 or 0. A 255 represents an octet that is
part of the network ID, while a 0 represents an octet that is part of the host ID. For example, a computer
with an IP address of 172.16.0.10 and a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 has a network ID of 172.16.0.0 and a
host ID of 0.0.0.10.

You can present subnet masks in the Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) format, which represents how

many continuous binary numbers with the value of 1 are contained in the subnet mask. For example, the
network 172.16.0.0 that has the subnet mask 255.255.0.0 can be presented as 172.16.0.0/16. The /16
represents the 16 bits that have a value of 1 when the subnet mask is represented in a binary format:
11111111.11111111.00000000.00000000. The following table represents the default subnet masks and
their network prefix notation.
