局域网中的IP地址分配原则(国外英语资料) IP address assignment principle in a LAN Author: admin date: 2005-04-18 Font size: small and large In network planning, the design of the IP address scheme is crucial, good IP address scheme not only can reduce the network load, also can lay a good foundation for the future network extension. This paper discusses the design of IP address scheme in network planning, and gives an example of IP address scheme design. IP addresses and subnet masks The IP address is used to identify the only machine on the network. Based on the definition of RFC791, IP address is composed of 32 bit binary number (4 bytes), expressed as with dot into each group of three dozen decimal number (XXX, XXX, XXX XXX) every 3 digits represent 8 bit binary number (one byte). Since one byte can represent a maximum of 255, each byte in an IP address has a value between 0 and 255. But 0 and 255 have special meanings, and 255 represents the broadcast address: 0 in the IP address is used to specify the network address number (if 0 is at the end of the address) or the node address (if 0 is at the beginning of the address). For example, refers to the network , while 0.0.62 refers to a computer with a node of 62 on the network. Depending on the IP address, the IP addresses are divided into three categories: class A, class B, and C. Class A is used for super large networks (millions of nodes), class B for medium size networks (thousands of nodes), and C for small networks (up to 254 nodes). A class address is used to represent the network address in the first byte, and the last three words represent the node address. The class B address USES the first two bytes to represent the network address, and the next two bytes represent the node address. The class C address indicates the network address in the first three bytes, and the fourth byte indicates the node address. See table 1. The network device determines the network type based on the first byte of the IP address. The first byte
