  2. Broadcast address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_address

    A special definition exists for the IP address 255.255.255.255. It is the broadcast address of the zero network or 0.0.0.0, which in Internet Protocol standards stands for this network, i.e. the local network. Transmission to this address is limited by definition, in that it is never forwarded by the routers connecting the local network to ...

  5. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration...

    The DHCP client broadcasts a DHCPDISCOVER message on the network subnet using the destination address 255.255.255.255 (limited broadcast) or the specific subnet broadcast address (directed broadcast). A DHCP client may also request an IP address in the DHCPDISCOVER, which the server may take into account when selecting an address to offer.

  6. Wildcard mask - Wikipedia

    A wildcard mask is a mask of bits that indicates which parts of an IP address are available for examination. In the Cisco IOS, [1] they are used in several places, for example:

  7. IP address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address

    All receivers capture the network packet. The address 255.255.255.255 is used for network broadcast. In addition, a more limited directed broadcast uses the all-ones host address with the network prefix. For example, the destination address used for directed broadcast to devices on the network 192.0.2.0 / 24 is 192.0.2.255. [24]

  8. Martian packet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martian_packet

    6to4 is an IPv6 transition technology where the IPv6 address encodes the originating IPv4 address such that every IPv4 / 32 has a corresponding, unique IPv6 / 48 prefix. Because 6to4 relays use the encoded value for determining the end site of the 6to4 tunnel, 6to4 addresses corresponding to IPv4 Martians are not routable and should never appear on the public Internet.

  9. Routing table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_table

    The columns Network destination and Netmask together describe the Network identifier as mentioned earlier. For example, destination 192.168.0.0 and netmask 255.255.255.0 can be written as 192.168.0.0/24. The Gateway column contains the same information as the Next hop, i.e. it points to the gateway through which the network can be reached.
