1 00:00:00,420 --> 00:00:04,920 I know, I know what you're thinking, you're really chomping at the bit to get to subletting, but 2 00:00:05,370 --> 00:00:11,940 before we talk about it, it's better to learn the IB classes and the subnet masks first. 3 00:00:12,070 --> 00:00:12,420 Right? 4 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:20,770 Octets of the IP address are broken down to provide an addressing scheme that can accommodate large 5 00:00:20,770 --> 00:00:21,990 and small networks. 6 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:27,010 So they're basically five different classes of networks and they range from A to E. 7 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:36,300 We're going to focus on classis A, B and C, which provide unicast addresses for networks of three 8 00:00:36,300 --> 00:00:44,310 different network sizes, Class D is for multicast networking and the classi address ranges reserved 9 00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:46,560 for future or experimental purposes. 10 00:00:48,170 --> 00:00:55,820 So given an IP address, its class can be determined from the three high order bits and by that I mean 11 00:00:56,090 --> 00:00:59,600 the three leftmost bit in the first octet. 12 00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:07,970 In a class I address, the first octet is a network portion, so Class AA has a major network address 13 00:01:08,180 --> 00:01:17,330 of one that zero zero zero all the way through one to seven 255, 255 255. 14 00:01:19,350 --> 00:01:25,860 The next 24 bits are for the network manager to divide into subnets and hosts as he or she sees fit. 15 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:33,130 Class addresses are used for networks that are more than sixty five thousand five hundred and thirty 16 00:01:33,130 --> 00:01:34,000 six hosts. 17 00:01:34,990 --> 00:01:42,490 In a Class B address, the first two octets are the network portion, so Class B has a major network 18 00:01:42,490 --> 00:01:50,680 address of one two eight zero zero zero all the way through one nine one two five 5.2 555 Datu five 19 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:51,070 five. 20 00:01:52,020 --> 00:01:57,240 Octets, three and four, that means 16 bit are for local subnets and hosts. 21 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:05,390 Class IP addresses are used for networks that have between 256 and sixty five thousand five hundred 22 00:02:05,390 --> 00:02:06,530 thirty four hosts. 23 00:02:07,750 --> 00:02:12,490 And finally, in a classy address, the first three octets are the network portion. 24 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:21,520 Class C has a major network address of one nine two zero zero zero all the way through two to three 25 00:02:21,730 --> 00:02:31,870 to five 5.5 5.2 five five octet for eight bits is for local subnets and hosts perfect for networks with 26 00:02:31,870 --> 00:02:34,780 less than two hundred and fifty four hosts.
