Lab 7.1.4.8 - ldentifying IPv4 Addresses Objectives Part 1: Identify IPv4 Addresses Identify the network and host portion of an IP address. Part 2: Classify IPv4 Addresses Identify the type of address (network, host, multicast, or broadcast). Identify whether an address is public or private. Determine if an address assignment is a valid host address. Background/ Scenario Addressing is an important function of network layer protocols because it enables data communication between hosts on the same network, or on different networks. Every IPv4 address is comprised of two parts: a network portion and a host portion. The network portion of an address is the same for all devices that reside in the same network The host portion identifies a specific host within a ginework. The subnet mask is used to determine the network portion of an IP address. Devices on the same network can communicate directly, devices on different networks require a "gateway" intermediary Layer 3 device (such as a router). to communicate. To understand the operation of devices on a network, we need to look at addresses the way devices do-n binary notation. To do this, we must convert the dotted decimal form of an IP
