CompTIA Network+ N10-008 Exam IP Addressing Quiz

Which of the following documents describes the concept of private IP addressing?

RFC 1918

Which of the following solutions alleviates the problem of the depleting IPv4 address space by allowing multiple hosts on the same private LAN to share a single public IP address?

NAT

Which of the solutions listed below hides the internal IP addresses by modifying IP address information in IP packet headers while in transit across a traffic routing device?

NAT

Which of the following answers refers to a method that binds a combination of private IP address and port number with a corresponding public IP address and port information?

PAT

An IPv4 address consists of

32 bits

IPv4 addresses are expressed with the use of:

Decimal numbers

An IPv6 address consists of

128 bits

IPv6 addresses are expressed with the use of

Hexadecimal numbers

A double colon in an IPv6 address indicates that part of the address containing only zeros has been compressed to make the address shorter

True

Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) allows a Windows host to self-configure an IPv4 address and subnet mask when Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is unavailable. APIPA uses an address block range between 169.254.0.0 and 169.254.255.255. APIPA-assigned addresses are valid only for communications within a network segment that a given host is connected to (a host with APIPA-assigned address cannot connect to the Internet).

True

A type of network traffic intended for a particular group of hosts is called:

Multicast

A type of network traffic intended for a single host identified by a unique IP address is referred to as:

Unicast

Which of the following answers refers to an IPv6-only, one-to-nearest data transmission type?

Anycast

A networked host with unknown IPv4 address can be reached via:

Broadcast

An IPv6 link-local address is an equivalent of IPv4's:

APIPA address

Which of the answers listed below refers to an IPv6 link-local address?

FE80::/10

Which of the following answers refers to an IPv4 loopback address?

127.0.0.1

Which of the following answers refer to IPv6 loopback addresses?

0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 & ::1

In a network using subnets, the term "Default gateway" refers to a network device that enables exchange of data between hosts residing in different subnets.

True

Which of the following allows to determine which network segment an IP address belongs to?

Subnet mask

What is the name of a solution that increases the efficiency of IP address space management by allowing network administrators to divide networks into subnets of different sizes?

VLSM (Variable length subnet mask)

Which of the following answers refer to the characteristic features of the 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10.0.0.0/8) IPv4 address space?

Class A range & Non-routable (private) IP address range

Which of the answers listed below refer to the 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16.0.0/12) IPv4 address space?

Class B range & Non-routable (private) IP address range

What are the characteristic features of the 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.0.0.0/16) IPv4 address space?

Class C range & Non-routable (private) IP address range

Which of the following answers refers to an IPv4 address range used for loopback addresses?

127.0.0.0 – 127.255.255.255 (127.0.0.0/8)

Which of the answers listed below refers to an IPv4 address range reserved for future use?

240.0.0.0 – 255.255.255.254 (240.0.0.0/4)

In IPv4 addressing, the leading octet of an IP address with a value of 1 through 126 denotes that the IP address within that range belongs to the:

Class A address space

Which of the following answers lists the default (classful) subnet mask for a class A network?

255.0.0.0

What is the leading octet value range for an IPv4 address belonging to a class B network?

128 - 191

Which of the following answers lists the default (classful) subnet mask for a class B network?

255.255.0.0

In IPv4 addressing, the leading octet of an IP address with a value of 192 through 223 denotes that the IP address within that range belongs to the:

Class C address space

Which of the answers listed below refers to the default (classful) subnet mask for a class C network?

255.255.255.0

Which of the following answers refer to the IPv4 multicast address block?

Class D range ; 224 - 239

Which of the answers listed below refers to a solution that replaces the classful network design?

CIDR

A limited IPv4-to-IPv6 transition mechanism that allows for encapsulation of IPv6 packets in IPv4 packets transmitted over IPv4 networks is referred to as:

6to4

An IPv4-to-IPv6 transition mechanism with native support for Network Address Translation (NAT) is known as:

The term "Dual-stack IP" refers to a solution that relies on implementing both IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks on various network devices to facilitate seamless migration from IPv4 to IPv6.

True

An IPv6 protocol used by routers to advertise their presence on a network is called:

NDP

Which of the following allows a network node to autoconfigure an IPv6 address in the absence of a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) server?

SLAAC

An IP address that doesn't correspond to any actual physical network interface is called a virtual IP address (VIP/VIPA).

True
