Quiz-9

1. Fill in the blank for the octet of ipv4 address below:

192. 168. 21. 17

1100000 10101000 10101 10001

0

2. Define DHCP.
- DHCP stands for dynamic host configuration protocol which is a network protocol
used on IP networks where each host on the network is dynamically given an IP
address and other information by a DHCP server so that they can connect with other
endpoints efficiently.

- The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network management

protocol used to simplify the configuration process of IP network computers, enabling
them to use network services such as DNS, NTP and any UDP or TCP-based
networking protocol.

3. Define :
Ping – A ping is a signal sent to a host demanding a reaction. This serves two main
purposes: 1) to verify if the host is available and 2) to calculate how long it takes to
respond.

Trace route – Trace route is a diagnostic network method used to monitor the path
taken by a packet on an IP network from source to destination in real-time, displaying
the IP addresses of all the routers in between. Trace route also tracks the time taken
along its journey to the destination for each hop the packet makes.

4. What is static address and what is it suitable for?

 - An IP address associated with your account that never varies and can be allocated to
a single computer is a static IP address. The static IP address routes traffic to the
machine or system to which an IP can be allocated (such as a router or firewall) any
time you connect to the AT&T network.

- If a web server is hosting your computer, what identifies it to the rest of the World is
its IP address. A device on the Internet may have a static IP address, which means it
remains the same over time, or a dynamic IP address, which means the address, can
change over time.

5. What is NAT and what is it for?

- NAT (Network Address Translation) converts the IP addresses of local network
computers into a single IP address.
- The router that links computers to the Internet uses the NAT address. A DSL
modem, cable modem, T1 thread, or even a dial-up modem may be added to the
router.

6. What is the main purpose of OSI Model Layer 3?

- OSI Model Layer 3: Network Layer includes the technical and procedural means of
transmitting data sequences of variable length from a source host on one network to a
destination host on another network, while preserving the level of service demanded
by the transport layer (as opposed to the data connection layer)

7. What is a default gateway?

A default gateway is a hardware node facilitating smooth network-to-network
connectivity. Its primary usage is to act as a gateway to other networks for outbound
communications, effectively allowing one device to communicate on a separate
network with another computer.
8. Provide 3 Characteristic of Static Routes in a router
-static router help router to reach any network which we don't know about
- As routers do not share routes, static routes consume less bandwidth than dynamic
routing protocols.
- Static Routes Increases with the network size, so router speed also increase.
9. Provide 3 Characteristics of Dynamic Routes in a router
 - More automation: Routing changes are sent to the other routers automatically. -
- Notification change: The dynamic routing protocol could be capable of rerouting
traffic across a down or congested link.
-Greater user uptime: Since the routing protocol has knowledge and can respond
quicker, more uptime can be seen by users.

10. What is the main purpose of using a router?

- It makes sure data is directed to the correct destination,
- Basically, a router serves as a bridge between two networks.
- The router prohibits data from going where it is not supposed to go.

11. What is the main function of Fragment offset in the ipv4 packet header fields?
- Along with the Identification field, the Fragment Offset is used to distinguish
packets that have been fragmented and reassemble them in the correct order.

12. What is the main function of Flag in the ipv4 packet header fields?
- The flag in an IPv4 header is a three-bit field which is used to monitor and classify
fragments.

13. What are the main tasks of Layer 3 Protocol : Network Layer
- Layer 3 provides technology for switching and routing, building logical routes for
transferring data from node to node, known as virtual circuits.

- Routing and forwarding, as well as addressing, internetworking, error handling,

congestion management and packet processing.
