IP Address & its types
Cisco CCNA R&S 200-301 - Network Walks Academy Arman Hasen (CCIE)
What is IP Address?
✓ It is a number assigned to each networking devices / hosts for identification
✓ It is used for logical division of networks
✓ It is used for identification of device location

Types of IP Addresses
A. Types of IP Addresses by Operation Method: Unicast, Broadcast, Multicast
B. Types of IP Addresses by IP Versions: IPv4, IPv6
C. Types of IP Addresses by Assignment Method: Static, Dynamic
D. Types of IP Addresses by Classes: A, B, C, D, E
E. Types of IP Addresses by Visibility: Public, Private

A. Types of IP Addresses by Operation Method
1. Unicast IP Addresses: Send data to a single receiver
2. Broadcast IP Addresses: Send data to all other device on the local network
3. Multicast Addressing: Sends data to a group of specific addresses

B. Types of IP Addresses by IP Versions
IPv4: The original version of IP is IPv4 which was first deployed in 1983.
It is 32-bit number which is usually represented in dotted-decimal format.
e.g. 192.168.0.1
IPv6: IPv6 was devised by IETF in 1995 due to rapid exhaustion of IPv4 address space. IPv4
It is a 128-bit number
e.g. 2001 : ABCD : 0000 : 0000 : 0000 : 0000 : 0000 : 0001

What is IPv4?
✓ Internet Protocol version 4
✓ First version of the protocol to be widely deployed
✓ Current Standard: RFC791 (Sep 1981)
✓ 32-bit numbers
✓ Network Part (N) + Host Part (H)
Examples:
✓ Dotted Decimal Notation e.g. 10.0.0.1 , 192.168.0.1/24
10.0.0.1 /16
255.255.0.0
✓ 232 = 4294967296 = 4.3 Billion total addresses
192.168.0.1 /24
255.255.255.0

What is IPv6?
Why we need IPv6?
IPv6 has a larger 128-bit address space, providing for 340 undecillion addresses
IPv6 Addressing methods & Examples
Preferred 1234 : 1234 : 0000 : 0000 : 0000 : 0000 : 3456 : 3434

Preferred 2001 : 0DB8 : 0000 : 0000 : ABCD : 0000 : 0000 : 01DD

C. Types of IPv4 Addresses by Assignment Method
1. Static IP Address: Manually Assigned IP Addresses by an admin
2. Dynamic IP Addresses: Automatically assigned IP Addresses by a system or protocol

D. Types of IPv4 Addresses by Classes
Class Address Range Default Subnet Mask
Class A 1.0.0.1 – 126.255.255.254 255.0.0.0 /8
Class B 128.1.0.1 – 191.255.255.254 255.255.0.0 /16
Class C 192.0.1.1 – 223.255.254.254 255.255.255.0 /24
Class D 224.0.0.0 – 239.255.255.255
Class E 240.0.0.0 – 254.255.255.254

E. Types of IPv4 Addresses by Visibility
1. Public IP Addresses: IP address which is used to locate the network devices on internet or
Public Networks
2. Private IP Addresses: IP address which is used to locate the network devices on Local or Private
Network. These are the Private IP Address ranges that belong to Class A, B & C
