Identify the class of an IPv4 address on the basis of IP range. [Autosaved]

The document explains the classification of IPv4 addresses into five classes (A, B, C, D, E) based on their binary starting bits and numerical ranges. Class A is for large networks (1-126), Class B for medium networks (128-191), Class C for small networks (192-223), Class D for multicasting (224-239), and Class E for experimental use (240-255). It also describes the subnet mask, which indicates the network and host portions of an IP address.

6 Identify the class


of an IPv4 address on
the basis of IP range.
• The 32-bits address of IPv4 is divided into four octet. One octet is
equal to 8 bits. Each octet is converted to decimal and separated by
dot.
• The octet are used to created class of IP addresses that can be
assigned to particular business, government based on size and need.
• The octets are divided into two sections of Network and Host.
• There are 5 classes of IPV4 address(A,B,C,D,E)
• Class A is used for a very large network and is implemented by large
companies with many network devices.
• The binary address of for class A starts with zero.
• Its range is between 1-126
• Default subnet mask is 255.0.0.0
• Its network part consist of 1 octet and host part consists of 3 octet.
• An example of the class A is 100.10.11.1
Class B
• Class B address scheme is used for the medium size network.
• The binary address for the class B starts with 10.
• The range of the IP address in the class B is between 128-191
• The default subnet mask of this class is 255.255.0.0
• Its network part consist of 2 octet and host part also consist of 2
octet.
• An example of class B address is 150.101.110.120
Class C
• Class C is used for small network.
• The binary address for the class C starts with 110.
• The range of class C is between 192-223 and the default subnet mask
for this class is 255.255.255.0.
• Its network part consist of 3 octet and host part consist of 1 octet.
• E.g
• 210.190.100.150
Class D
• Class D is for special use i.e multicasting
• Group email etc
• The binary addresses for the class D starts with 1110 and the IP
address ranges from 224 to 239.
• E.g
• 230.150.110.11
Class E
• Class E is under experimental research.
• The binary address start with 1111 and the decimal can range from
• 240 to 255.
• 245.101.110.110.
Subnet mask
• It indicates the network portion and host portion of an IP address.
• Like IP address the subnet mask is dotted decimal number.
• A subnet mask is a 32-bit binary number that defines the network
portion and the host portion of an IP address.
• Like 255.255.255.0
• 11111111.11111111.1111111.00000000
• The one represents the network portion and the zeros represents
host portion and which part is refers to host.
• 192.168.10.10=11000000.10101000.00001010.00001010
• 255.255.255.0=11111111. 11111111. 11111111. 00000000

• 1000000.10101000.00001010.00000000
• 192.168.10.0
1-126
1-126
