What is an IP address and what is its purpose?
An IP address is a type of computer virus.
An IP address is a physical address of a device.
An IP address is used only for local file storage.
An IP address is a unique identifier for a device on a network, used for communication and routing data.
Answer explanation
An IP address is a unique identifier for a device on a network, enabling communication and data routing. This distinguishes it from incorrect options that misrepresent its function.

Explain the difference between IPv4 and IPv6 addressing.
IPv4 is primarily used for local networks, while IPv6 is used for global internet connections.
IPv4 is a 32-bit address format, while IPv6 is a 128-bit address format.
IPv4 supports unlimited devices, while IPv6 has a limited number of addresses.
IPv4 uses hexadecimal format, while IPv6 uses decimal format.
Answer explanation
The correct choice highlights that IPv4 uses a 32-bit address format, allowing for about 4.3 billion unique addresses, while IPv6 uses a 128-bit format, vastly increasing the number of available addresses to accommodate the growing number of devices.

What are the main components of an IP address?
Subnet part and Gateway part
Network part and Host part
Address part and Route part
Device part and Protocol part
Answer explanation
An IP address consists of two main components: the network part, which identifies the network, and the host part, which identifies the specific device on that network. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Network part and Host part'.

How does IPv6 improve upon IPv4 in terms of address space?
IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses, significantly increasing the address space compared to IPv4's 32-bit addresses.
IPv6 addresses are only used for mobile devices, not for general internet use.
IPv6 does not change the address space compared to IPv4.
IPv6 uses 64-bit addresses, which is less than IPv4's 32-bit addresses.
Answer explanation
IPv6 improves upon IPv4 by using 128-bit addresses, which allows for a vastly larger address space compared to IPv4's 32-bit addresses. This expansion is crucial for accommodating the growing number of devices on the internet.

What are some key features of IPv6?
64-bit address space
No support for multicast
Increased packet size overhead
Key features of IPv6 include a 128-bit address space, simplified packet header, built-in security (IPsec), support for multicast and anycast, and improved support for mobile devices.
Answer explanation
IPv6 features a 128-bit address space, which allows for a vastly larger number of unique IP addresses compared to IPv4. It also includes a simplified packet header, built-in security (IPsec), and supports multicast and anycast.

Define what a subnet mask is and its role in IP addressing.
A subnet mask is a type of firewall that blocks unwanted traffic.
A subnet mask is a 32-bit number that defines the network and host portions of an IP address.
A subnet mask is a physical device that connects multiple networks.
A subnet mask is a 16-bit number used only for IPv6 addresses.
Answer explanation
A subnet mask is a 32-bit number that separates the network and host parts of an IP address, allowing devices to identify which part of the address refers to the network and which part refers to the specific device.

What is the difference between routing and switching?
Routing connects different networks; switching connects devices within the same network.
Routing is faster than switching; switching is slower than routing.
Routing connects devices within the same network; switching connects different networks.
Routing is used for local area networks; switching is used for wide area networks.
Answer explanation
The correct choice states that routing connects different networks while switching connects devices within the same network. This distinction is fundamental in networking, as routing manages traffic between networks, whereas switching operates within a single network.
