What is the OSI
Model?
In the 1970s the International
Standards Organization (ISO)
developed the Open Systems
Interconnection (OSI) reference model
to define the basic standards for
network communication.

What is TCP/IP?
TCP/IP stands for the Transmission
Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. It is
the basic communication protocol of
the Internet.
Although it was designed to be an
Internet protocol, it can also be used as
a communication protocol in a private
network.
Train Signal, Inc., 2002-2008
TCP/IP
Architecture
The TCP/IP architecture is based off the
4 layer DARPA model. Each layer of
the DARPA model corresponds to one
or more of the layers of the 7 layer OSI
model.
Each of the 4 layers have individual
protocols which all work together to
form a protocol stack.

Connection-oriented communication
means that a connection must be
established before data can be
exchanged.
TCP uses a three-way handshake to
establish this connection.

What is an IP
Address?
A 32 bit address that is used to uniquely
identify a computer on a network.
The Network ID portion of the IP Address
identifies the network where the computer
sits.
The Host ID portion of the IP Address
uniquely identifies the computer on its
network.

How to Plan an IP Addressing Scheme
Rules for IP Addressing
What is Classful IP Addressing?
Private vs. Public IP Addressing
What is Network Address Translation
(NAT)?
Train Signal, Inc., 2002-2008
How to Plan an
IP Addressing
Scheme
How many IP Addresses do you need
today?
How many IP Addresses will you need
in the future?
Are you dealing with a pre-existing IP
scheme?
Train Signal, Inc., 2002-2008
Rules for IP
Addressing
Each of the 4 numbers in an IP Address
is called an octet (8 bits).
192.168.10.101
A bit is a 1 or a 0.
Each octet can only have a number
from 0 to 255
00000000 = 0
11111111 = 255
Train Signal, Inc., 2002-2008
19
Rules for IP
Addressing
The first octet cannot be 127.
The 127 range has been reserved for
diagnostics.
127.0.0.1 is known as the loopback
address. (It is sometimes also referred
to as localhost.)
Train Signal, Inc., 2002-2008
Rules for IP
Addressing
The Host ID cannot be all 0s or all
255s.
All 0s represents the Network ID
All 255s is the broadcast address
Example:
192.168.10.0 is a Network ID
192.168.10.255 is the broadcast address
for the 192.168.10.0 network.
Train Signal, Inc., 2002-2008
What is Classful
IP Addressing?
Originally IP Addresses where divided
into different class ranges:
A Class: 1-126255.0.0.0
B Class: 128 191 255.255.0.0
C Class: 192 223 255.255.255.0
D Class: 224 239 Multicast
E Class: 240 243 Experimental
Train Signal, Inc., 2002-2008

What is Classful
IP Addressing?
A Class 126 Networks, 16,777,214 Hosts
B Class 16,384 Networks, 65,534 Hosts
C Class 2,097,152 Networks, 254 Hosts
Total of 3,720,314,628 host addresses
available
Train Signal, Inc., 2002-2008
Private vs.
Public IP
Addressing
Private IP ranges which have been
reserved from Public Internet use:
10.0.0.0 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 192.168.255.255
169.254.0.0 169.254.255.255
Train Signal, Inc., 2002-2008
Private vs.
Public IP
Addressing
Hosts assigned private IP Addresses
can get to the Internet through a
technology called Network Address
Translation (NAT)
Most of todays companies use private
IP Addresses on their private networks.

What is a
Router?
A router is a device that forwards data packets along networks.
A router is connected to at least two networks, commonly two
LANs or WANs or a LAN and its ISPs network. Routers are
located at gateways, the places where two or more networks
connect, and are the critical device that keeps data flowing
between networks and keeps the networks connected to the
Internet. When data is sent between locations on one network
or from one network to a second network the data is always
seen and directed to the correct location by the router. They
accomplish this by using headers and forwarding tables to
determine the best path for forwarding the data packets, and
the use protocols such as ICMP to communicate with each
other and configure the best route between any two hosts.

What is a Default
Gateway?
Computers can only communicate directly
with other computers on the same network.
The only way for a computer to communicate
with a computer on a different network is
through a router. (Internetworking)
The Default Gateway represents the IP
Address of a router that a computer uses to
communicate outside of its network.

smaller networks to increase efficiency

Subnetting with
CIDR & VLSM
If we start with 255.255.0.0, but want to divide
into smaller networks we need to take bits
from the Host ID and move them into the
Network ID.
Train Signal, Inc., 2002-2008
Formulas
Number of Subnets:
2n
n = Number of 1s in the Subnet ID
Number of available host addresses:
2n 2
n = Number of 0s in the Host ID
Host ID cannot be all 0s or all 1s
Example:
11111111.11111111.11111000.00000000
