L.A.N. LOCAL AREA NETWORKING

 

LOGICAL ADDRESS aka "IP ADRESS" looks like 192.168.5.10


.

.
.
TIER 1 early internet
Internet began via telephones at military base LANs during Cold War
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
TCP/IPs 
TCP/IPs go from 0 to 254                                      ...
= never beyond 254 and always w/3 dots mixed in (192.168.5.10)
**IP addy never ends with a lone ZERO or 255**

IP ADDRESS: 192.168.5.10
IP ADDRESS the
4 cluster "octet" numbering system 
was invented by ARPA to identify each military LAN
.

.
IP ADDRESS: 192.168.5.10
.
Your 4 cluster "octet":
A) Identifies what LAN you're part of
B) shows your unique host ID
.
.
Class C IP ADDRESS =  210.11.12.?
your first 3 clusters of IP ADDRESS are set in stone. 4th cluster is unique

Class B IP ADDRESS =  210.11.?.?
First 2 clusters of IP ADDRESS set in stone. 3rd & 4th cluster unique

Class A IP ADDRESS =  210.?.?.?
First cluster of IP ADDRESS set in stone. 2nd, 3rd, & 4th cluster unique


Class C IP ADDRESS = only 254 hosts
Class B IP ADDRESS = 65,534 hosts
Class A IP ADDRESS = Millions of hosts
.
.
**Internet ran out of class A, class B, & class C addresses at 4Billion combinations**
How did we fix this problem?? "NAT" fixed this
.
.
.
IPv4 = built the internet
IPv6 = is what we use now!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Updated DATA "FRAME" TRAIN now with IP ADDRESS:
Destination MACaddress + Source MACaddress + Destination IP + Source IP + DATA + FCS

**we can now escape to the internet**
.
.
.
LAN then passes through WAN (which makes up
worldwide internet
via GATEWAY aka Router
.

SUBNET MASK 
ex. = 255.255.255.0 for computers on LAN (Like a local call)

for your PC to get on the internet - it needs the following:
1. IP ADDRESS
2. .SUBNET MASK.
3. & DEFAULT GATEWAY within ROUTER
.
.
NETWORK IDs + SUBNET MASKs
In Windows manually open "Network Sharing Center" 
Then right click "Properties"

.

.
How to configure a "static" IP ADDRESS?
**via admin - type it in manually**
IP ADDRESS + SUBNET MASK + DEFAULT GATEWAY
