Let us start networking practicals in this spectacle, we will be learning how to find out your own
IP address is in command prompt.
So let us begin what is an IP address and IP address works in an IP network, just like a postal address
works in the postal system.
So a postal address is a combination of two addresses, area address and house address.
In previous lectures we have discussed about IP addresses and we have also discussed about the classes
of IP address.
If you remember, there are five classes of IP address, class E, two class E, so let us see.
Your IP address belongs to which class?
Let us start by typing command prompt in your search box type command prompt, it is CMT and press enter.
Now you can see the command prompt prompt has open on your screen, so how to find out the IP address?
There is command, especially for windows with these IP config, which stands for IP protocol, address,
configuration and press enter.
There is a lot of information to process, but we are interested in finding out our IP address so you
can see there is a content called wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi in that we are to find out our IP address,
but not get confused with the Wi-Fi here because the IP address of your PC is same for all the connections.
So you can scroll down and you can see the IP address I have highlighted.
So this is the Virgin Sticks address, which is the recent address.
If you come down, you can see the IP address.
That is the fourth version address.
And now the IP address of my computer on my PC can be different from your lab environment.
So my computer's IP address is one ninety two point one sixty eight point forty three point twenty two.
Can you give us a moment and let us imagine that this I.P. address belongs to Class B, but we have
seen that the Class B IP address doesn't start with one ninety-two.
So this must be the IP address belonging to Class C, IP addresses belonging to Class C are assigned
to small sized network.
Yes, and my house is a small sized network.
So the default subnet mask for C is to fifty five point fifty five point two, fifty five point zero,
as you can see on the screen, and the default gateway is also mentioned as one ninety two point one
sixty eight point forty three point two hundred.
This was all about finding the IP address of your own PC in the next practical, we will see how to
find out the Mac address or the physical address of your machine.
