About TCP/IP
-
is the basic communication language or protocol of the Internet.
- also be used as a communications protocol in a private network (either an intranet @ extranet).
- TCP/IP is a two-layer program.
- The higher layer: manages the assembling of a message or file into smaller packets that are transmitted over the Internet and received by a TCP layer that reassembles the packets into the original message.
- The lower layer: Internet Protocol handles the address part of each packet so that it gets to the right destination.
- TCP/IP uses the client/server model of communication in which a computer user (a client) requests and is provided a service (such as sending a Web page) by another computer (a server) in the network.
- TCP/IP communication is primarily point-to-point, meaning each communication is from one point (or host computer) in the network to another point or host computer.
OSI Layer
IP Address
- An IP Address, or Internet Protocol is a form of numerical identification.
- is a unique address.
- divided into two: IPV4 & IPV6
bit: combination no. 0 & 1
byte: scale between 7 bit & 8 bit
octet: always 8 bit
- Class of IP Address (Genaral for WAN)
class A: for very large networks [ 1-126 ]
class B: used for medium-sized network [ 128-191 ]
class C: commonly used for small to mid-size businesess [ 192-223 ]
class D: reserved
class E: used for experimental purposes only
* 127 is for loopback @ localhost
- Private IP Address ( used for VLAN )
classs A: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255.255
class B: 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
class C: 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
* how to know/check IP Address ?
First step :
Static IP Address: assign by IT administrator
Dynamic IP Address: assign by "DHCP" server
Subnetmask
- similar to IP address
- have 4 octet
- use to identify host id & network id
- class A ( 1 net, 4 host )
- class B ( 2 net, 2 host )
- class C ( 3 net, 1 host )
Network address: 1st address
Broadcast address: last address
