Explain submit mask and subnetting and advantages.

47.Explain submit mask and subnetting and advantages.
Ans.
1. The network mask is also called the subnet mask. All network nits were set to one and the host bits were to zero. This is the standard format for all the network masks.
E.g.
Class C 11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000
Class B 11111111 11111111 00000000 00000000
Class A 11111111 00000000 00000000 00000000

2. A subnet enable us to use one IP address and split it up so that it can be used on a several physically connected local network, it’s a big advantage, as the number of IP numbers available is rapidly diminishing.

3. We can have the multiple subnetted networks connected to the outside world with just one IP address.

4. By splitting the IP address, it can be used on sites that need multiple connections; splitting the address eliminates the problems of high traffic and difficult manageability.

5. Subnetting also increases security by separating into local networks.

Explain process of setting up a NIC (Network interface card).

44.Explain process of setting up a NIC (Network interface card). Ans. 1. Network interface card (NIC) can be set-up by configuring the network card and internal network. 2. Before configuring network card we must check loopback (IP address 127.0.0.1) is working. 3. Even if the compute is not connected to outside network internet network configuration is required for some applications. This address is known as loopback device, and its IP address is 127.0.0.1 4. To check loopback device is configured or not, we use ‘ifconfig’ command it shows a device called ‘lo’ with the address 127.0.0.1, if this device and address is not shown there then loopback is not configured. 5. To configure it we can use command ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 after that we need to use the ‘route’ command to give system a little more information about this interface for this ‘route add –net 127.0.0.0’ command is used, after this loopback is setup. 6. To configure a network card we will use ifconfig co...
