3) Private IP-address
Private internal addresses are not routed on the Internet
and no traffic cannot be sent to them from the Internet,
they only supposed to work within the local network.
Private addresses include IP addresses from the following
subnets:
4) What is DNS ?
Domain Name Server (DNS) is a standard protocol that
helps Internet users discover websites using human
readable addresses. Like a phonebook which lets you look
up the name of a person and discover their number, DNS
lets you type the address of a website and automatically
discover the Internet Protocol (IP) address for that
website.
Without DNS, the Internet would collapse - it would be
impossible for people and machines to access Internet
servers via the friendly URLs they have come to know.
5) What is DHCP ?
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network
management protocol used to automate the process of
configuring devices on IP networks, thus allowing them to
use network services such as DNS, NTP, and any
communication protocol based on UDP or TCP. A DHCP
server dynamically assigns an IP address and other
network configuration parameters to each device on a
network so they can communicate with other IP
networks.
6) What is a Router ?
A router is a device that communicates between the
internet and the devices in your home that connect to
the internet. As its name implies, it “routes” traffic
between the devices and the internet.
9) What is ARP ?
This is actually also something we cover in the course
but perhaps you just like to know about it before we
get to it:
In order to be able to send data packets in TCP/IP
networks, a transmitter requires three bits of address
information to be sent via the host: the subnet mask, the
IP address and the MAC address (also the hardware
address or physical address). Your netmask and IP address
receive network devices automatically and flexibly when
they connect to a network. For this purpose, the
connecting communication devices, such as routers or
hubs, revert to the DHCP protocol. In local networks, the
two entries can also be entered manually. The hardware
address is, however, assigned by the manufacturer of the
respective device and is linked to a specific IP address by
means of the so-called Address Resolution Protocol (ARP).
