What is a Network Address?

-



Network Address
                       - it is more commonly known as IP (Internet Protocol) Address.
                       - it is the numeric address of a computer connected to the network.
                       - is a set of numbers, called as "octets" or "dotted decimal" notation, that identifies any network device.

 Example:
IP Versions
1. IPv4- IP version 4- is the standard version
  2. IPv6- IP version 6- is the advanced version


IPv4- Internet Protocol version 4
          IPv4 addresses are canonically represented in dotted- decimal notation, which consists of four decimal numbers, each ranging from 0 to 255, separated by dots, e.g., 172.16.254.1. Each part represents a group of 8 bits (octet) of the address.

Binary numbers ( 0 and 1 )- the only numbers that the computer understands

1 byte=8 bits
4 bytes=32 bits


Classes of IP Addresses

 Class A- 1 to 126
Class B- 128 to 191
Class C- 192 to 223
Class D- 224 to 239
Class E- 240 to 255

 Note:127- loop back function of a network
         Class D- is for multicast
         Class E- reserved for future or experimental purposes
Typical home networks use IP addresses that start with 192.168.


Creating IP Address

 1. Right click My Network Places.
2. Click Properties.
3. Right click Local Area Connection.
4. Click Properties.
5. Click TCP/IP.
6. Click Properties.
  • Obtain an IP address automatically
  • Use the following IP address:
            IP Address:                                           
            Subnet Mask:                                        

7. Click OK.

IP Configuration

How to be a Responsible Netizen?

How well do we use it? Nowadays, too young and even too old people know how to use the internet. Usually, everyone use it for many purposes just like enjoying and playing online games which some people are addicted to and are wasting their money for, without significance. Some use the internet to find friends, for online businesses to earn money and to communicate with their loved ones in far places. Others use it to post compositions they wanted to share and express to the world. Like, every day, we’re being bombarded with our friends’ statuses about their current heartbreaks and our classmates’ tweets about the amount of requirements to be passed at the end of the quarter. These are just few of the topics that we usually see on our social media accounts.  And in fact, students, like me, use it not just to have fun but to learn more, to search and to do assignments, projects and reports needed in our studies.  In our country, the Philippines, we have this freedom of expression

What is a Network Topology?             A n etwork topology is the arrangement of the elements of a communication network.It is the topological structure of a network and may be depicted physically or logically.   It is an application of  graph theory  wherein communicating devices are modeled as nodes and the connections between the devices are modeled as links or lines between the nodes. 5 types of Network Topology Linear Bus Topology         It uses one long cable referred to as a backbone .It is a type of network topology in which each device is connected one after the other in a sequential chain. The bus is the network connection between the devices, and if any link in the network chain is severed, all network transmission is halted.  Advantages Disadvantages easy to install if the main cable fails or gets damaged the whole network will fail cheap to install, as it doesn't require much cable as more workstations are con
