Remember the parts of an IP address for each class.
You need to remember that a Class A IP address is viewed as network.node.node.node, a Class B IP address is shown as network.network.node.node, and a Class C is shown as network.network.network.node.
Remember the parts of an IPX address.
An IPX address is made up of up to 8 hex digits for the network address and the remainder of the address are the 12 hex digits taken from the MAC address assigned to the NIC card of the machine using IPX.
Key Terms and Concepts
Class A IP address
An IP address where only the first octet identifies the network. The network address will always be between 1 and 126, and shown in only the first octet. The address would be viewed as network.node.node.node.
Class B IP address
An IP address where the first octet has a value between 128 and 191. The second octet is still part of the network. The address is viewed as network.network.node.node.
Class C IP address
An IP address where the first three octets identify the network. Addresses always start with a value of 192 to 223. The address is viewed as network.network.network.node.
IP address
Network address assigned to a node on a network. Used to send and receive packets or datagram’s on an internetwork. The address is 32-bits long and consists of three individual octets.
Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) address
Novell copied a protocol stack developed by Xerox (which they called XNS) and called it IPX. It is used for routing packets through an internetwork and for network addressing.
