IP CLASSIFICATION
Concept:
Such as every person have
own identification on world by using name,address,adhaar card etc.Similarly
computer also contain their address and identification which are called MAC
address and IP address.
Basically,each system have it`s own ip
address given by network that will be always unique from each other.It looks
like 192.121.1.1 means it is divided
into four parts each part numbering range is from 0 to 255.But ip addresses are
also divided into the classes.Each class is mend for different categories of
network or different types of users.
There are five ip classes:A,B,C,D and
E.
Classes Range Usage
A 0-126 common
B 128-191 common
C 192-223 common
D 224-239 multicasting
E 240-254 experimental
(research)
127.1.1.0 ip address is not comes in these classes because this ip is called local
host ip address.It is ip of every system and reserved for local host.
Basically, we can find our ip address of our system and it`s range of classification on our own system by using command prompt.
Steps:
1. Open
command prompt
2. Type
ipconfig
3. Press
Enter
4. Scroll
Down
5. Find IPv4
address
then you will
get your ip address of your system.if it is starting with 0-126 then its
classification is A,if 128-191 then it is B class ip address and so on.
