8.1.4.8 Lab - Identifying IPv4 Addresses
Objectives
Part 1: Identify IPv4 Addresses
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. In this lab, you will examine the structure of
Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) addresses. You will identify the various types of IPv4 addresses and the
components that help comprise the address, such as network portion, host portion, and subnet mask. Types
of addresses covered include public, private, unicast, and multicast.
Required Resources
Step 1: Analyze the table shown below and identify the network portion and host portion of the
given IPv4 addresses.
The first two rows show examples of how the table should be completed.
Key for table:
N = all 8 bits for an octet are in the network portion of the address
n = a bit in the network portion of the address
H = all 8 bits for an octet are in the host portion of the address
h = a bit in the host portion of the address

Step 2: Analyze the table below and list the range of host and broadcast addresses given a
network/prefix mask pair.

Reflection
Why should we continue to study and learn about IPv4 addressing if the available IPv4 address space is
depleted?
