DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Goal: allow host to dynamically obtain its IP address from network server when it joins network Can renew its lease on address in use Allows reuse of addresses (only hold address while connected an “on”) Support for mobile users who want to join network (more shortly) DHCP overview: host broadcasts “DHCP discover” msg [optional] DHCP server responds with “DHCP offer” msg [optional] host requests IP address: “DHCP request” msg DHCP server sends address: “DHCP ack” msg Network Layer

Internet Control Message Protocol The principal ICMP message types. 5-61 Network Layer
ICMP: example Hannah being a great network trouble shooter Can test basic network connectivity using The ping command uses the ICMP sending a message called echo request The destination should reply with an ICMP echo reply IP needs to have a way to test basic IP connectivity, without relying on any applications to be working. Hannah, being a great network troubleshooter, can test basic network connectivity using the ping command. Ping (Packet Internet Groper) uses the ICMP protocol, sending a message called ICMP echo request to another IP address. The computer with that IP address should reply with an ICMP echo reply.

Exercises A router has the following entries in its routing table: Address/mask Next hop 135.46.56.0/22 interface 0 135.46.60.0/22 interface 1 192.53.40.0/23 interface 2 default interface 3 For each of the following addresses, what does the router do if a packet with that address arrives: a) 135.46.63.10, b) 135.46.57.14, c)135.46.52.2, d)192.53.40.7, e) 192.53.56.7 Network Layer
Solution The packets are routed as follows: a) Interface 1 b) Interface 0 c) Interface 3 d) Interface 2 e) Interface 3 Network Layer
Exercises A router has just received the following new IP addresses: 57.6.96.0/21, 57.6.104.0/21, 57.6.112.0/21, and 57.6.120.0/21. If all of them use the same outgoing line, can they be aggregated? If so, to what? If not, why not? Network Layer
Exercises You have a class C network, and you need to design it for 7 usable subnets with each subnet handling a minimum of 18 hosts each. Which of the following network masks should you use? 255.255.224.0 255.255..255.230 255.255.255.224 255.255.255.240 None of the above Network Layer
Solution Answer: C Explanation: The default subnet mask for class C network is 255.255.255.0. If one has to create 5 subnets, then 3 bits are required. With 3 bits we can create 6 subnets. The remaining 5 bits are used for Hosts. One can create 30 hosts using 5 bits in host field. This matches with the requirement. Network Layer
Exercises If a host on a network has the address 172.16.210.0/22, what is the address of the subnetwork to which the host belongs? 172.16.42.0 172.16.107.0 172.16.208.0 172.16.255.208 172.16.254.0 Network Layer
Solution Answer: C Explanation: This question is much easier then it appears when you convert it to binary and do the Boolean operation as shown below: IP address 172.16.210.0 = 10101100.00010000.11010010.00000000 /22 mask = 11111111.11111111.11111100.00000000 AND result = 11111111.11111111.11010000.00000000 AND in decimal= 172 . 16 . 208 . 0 Network Layer
Exercises How many subnetworks and hosts are available per subnet if you apply /28 mask to the 210.10.2.0 class C network 30 networks and 6 hosts 6 networks and 30 hosts 8 networks and 32 hosts 14 networks and 6 hosts None of the above Network Layer
Solution Answer: E Explanation: A 28 bit subnet mask (11111111.11111111.11111111.11110000) applied to a class C network uses a 4 bits for networks, and leaves 4 bits for hosts. Using the 2n-2 formula, we have 24-2 (or 2x2x2x2 2) which gives us 14 for both the number of networks, and the number of hosts. Network Layer
Exercises Given that you have a class B IP address network range, which of the subnet masks below will allow for 100 subnets with 500 usable host addresses per subnet? 255.255.0.0 255.255.224.0 255.255.254.0 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.224 Network Layer
Solution Answer: C Explanation: Using the 2n-2 formula for host addresses, 29-2 = 510 host address, so a 9-bit subnet mask will provide the required number of host addresses. If these 9 bits are used for the hosts in a class B network, then the remaining 7 bits are used for the number of networks. Again using the 2n-2 formula, we have 2n- 2 = 126 networks that are available. Network Layer
Exercises Given the following IP address and subnet mask: 172.16.211.12/20, find the broadcast address associated with the subnet that this IP address resides upon. 172.16.255.255 172.16.224.224 172.16.224.255 172.16.223.255 None of the above Network Layer
Exercises Your network uses the 172.12.0.0 IP address. You need to support 459 hosts per network, while accommodating the maximum number of subnets. Which mask would you use? 255.255.0.0 255.255.128.0 255.255.254.0 255.255.255.254 255.255.255.128 Network Layer
Solution Answer:C Explanation: To obtain 459 hosts the number of host bits will be 9. This can support a maximum of 510 hosts. To keep 9 bits for hosts means the last bit in the 3rd octet will be 0. This gives 255.255.254.0 as the subnet mask. Network Layer
Exercises The LAU network was assigned the class C network address 189.66.1.0 from the ISP. If the administrator at LAU were to subnet this class C network using the 255.255.255.224 subnet mask, how many hosts will they be able to support on each subnet? 14 16 32 30 None of the above Network Layer
Solution Answer: D Explanation: The subnet mask 255.255.255.224 is a 27 bit mask (11111111.11111111.11111111.11100000). It uses 3 bits from the host Id for the network ID, leaving 5 bits for host addresses. We can calculate the number of hosts supported by this subnet by using the 2n-2 formula where n represents the number of host bits. In this case it will be 5. 25-2 gives us 30. Network Layer
Exercises You have been the CIDR block of 115.64.4.0/22 from your ISP. Which of the IP addresses below can you use for a host? 115.64.8.32 115.64.7.64 115.64.6.255 115.64.3.255 115.64.5.128 115.64.12.128 Network Layer
Solution Answer: B, C, E Explanation: 115.64.4.0 =01110011.01000000.00000100.00000000 Subnet mask = 11111111.11111111.11111100.00000000= 255.255.252.0 Subnet number = 01110011.01000000.00000100.00000000= 115.64.4.0 Broadcast = 01110011.01000000.00000111.11111111= 115.64.7.255 Valid address range = 115.64.4.1 - 115.64.7.254 Network Layer
