ASSIGNMENT

2. identify the theoretic IP address ranges of classes A, B and C for IPv4,

e.g., the first and last IP addresses;
Class A Network Range
The theoretical range for Class A ranges from 0 - 127.
First IP Address - 1.0.0.0
Last IP Address - 126.0.0.0
Class B IP Address
The theoretical range from Class B ranges from 128 - 191.

First IP Address - 128.0.0.0

Last IP Address - 191.255.0.0
Class C IP Address
The theoretical ip address for Class C ranges from 192 - 223.
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
First IP Address - 192.0.0.0
Last IP Address - 223.255.255.0

3. identify network address and broadcast address for EACH of the following
traditional classful private networks, where x equals the decimal value of
the 2nd & 3rd digits of your student ID, f.g., if your student ID is 12345, then
x is 23 in this case:
a). 10.8.x.0/8; b). 172.16.x.0/16 and c). 192.168.x.0/24
a. 10.8.60.0/8
Network Address:
Broadcast Address:
b. 172.16.60.0/16

10.0.0.0
10.255.255.255

Network Address: 172.16.0.0

Broadcast Address:
172.16.255.255
c.

192.168.60.0/24
Network Address: 192.168.60.0
Broadcast Address:
192.168.60.255

4. identify ports listening on your own computer system (Windows, Mac or

Linux); connection established (source and destination addresses along with
their related ports); any connection status other than "ESTABLISHED or
LISTENING; and explain briefly each of them; such as which is source ( or
local) address, destination (or foreign or remote) address, port numbers,
WELL-KNOWN services and their associated WELL-KNOWN port numbers. For
Windows commands and try the executing DOS commands "netstat -an | find
/i "listening", and try again without "/i" option following the "find" command,
to filter/narrow your outputs

To find the listening ports on the Windows System the command is netstat
-an |find /i listening.

In the above screenshot it shows the Protocol and the IP address on the
listening ports. And the bottom half shows the port numbers.

In the above screenshot we see the local address and the Foreign address
and the state in which these are present. The command is netsat -an.
In the above screenshot port 135 is on state listening.It is client server
communication.
Another well known port is 445 which is Common Internet File System (CIFS).
To see the established ports we use the command netstat an|find /i
established in the below screenshot.

In the above screenshot we see the port 5354 which is another well known
TCP,UDP port whose service is mdnsresponder and its description is Multicast
DNS Responder IPC.

5. conduct your own online research to identify any LISTENING ports on your
computer system, highlight these not-so-well-known listening port with
service name (string) you found online;
The Netstat command is used to listening ports on the computer system
For the use of listening ports we have to open the command prompt and
then type
netstat -an\find -i "listening"
to use the running Process ID on the listening ports we have to use the -o
netstat -ao |find /i "listening"

The port 135 is used for client server communication. And the port 49408
service name is Dynamic and/or Private Ports.
