Host Address
Host address, or the host ID portion of an
IP address, is the portion of the address
used to identify hosts, Network address is
an identifier for a node or network interface
of a telecommunications network.
Network Address
A network address is an identifier for a
node or host on a telecommunications
network. Network addresses are designed
to be unique identifiers across the network,
although some networks allow for local,
private addresses or locally administered
addresses that may not be globally unique.
Broadcast Address
 A broadcast address is a special Internet Protocol (IP)
address used to transmit messages and data packets to
network systems. Network administrators (NA) verify
successful data packet transmission via broadcast
addresses.

 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Bootstrap

Protocol (BOOTP) clients use broadcast IP addresses to
locate and transmit respective server requests.
 CIDR – Classless Inter-Domain
Routing
 CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing, sometimes called supernetting)
is a way to allow more flexible allocation of Internet Protocol (IP)
addresses than was possible with the original system of IP address
classes. As a result, the number of available Internet addresses was
greatly increased, which along with widespread use of network address
translation (NAT), has significantly extended the useful life of IPv4.

 CLASS – A IP Address
 Class A networks use a default subnet mask of
255.0.0.0 and have 0-126 as their first octet. The
address 10.52.36.11 is a class A address. Its first octet
is 10, which is between 1 and 126, inclusive.
 IP Address – 10.0.0.0
 Subnet mask – 255.0.0.0

Binary bits = 11111111 (8 bits)
 CLASS – B IP Address
 Class B networks use a default subnet mask of
255.255.0.0 and have 128-191 as their first octet. The
address 172.16.52.63 is a class B address. Its first
octet is 172, which is between 128 and 191,
inclusive.
 IP Address – 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.0.0
 Subnet mask – 255.255.0.0

Second Octet
Binary bits = 11111111.11111111 (16 bits)
 CLASS – C IP Address
 Class C networks use a default subnet mask of
255.255.255.0 and have 192-223 as their first octet.
The address 192.168.123.132 is a class C address.
Its first octet is 192, which is between 192 and 223,
inclusive.
 IP Address – 192.168.0.0
 Subnet mask – 255.255.255.0
