How do I find my network ID and host ID?

A host ID can be found simply by ANDing the IP address in binary form with its respective default subnet mask (in binary form). The other fragment of an IP address is the network ID, which identifies the network to which the host belongs.

What is network ID?

A network ID, in the world of Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol or TCP/IP, is the portion of the TCP/IP address which identifies the network for a given host, usually composed of three octets with dotted decimal representation.

Is Host ID same as asset ID?

However the Host ID and the Asset ID will remain the same. These ID’s cannot be used to detect a change in the asset. The Qualys Host ID GUID will change however.

How can I get my host ID?

How to Find Your Host ID Print

  1. Enter cmd into the Windows search field.
  2. Click Command Prompt App.
  3. Enter ipconfig /all into the command prompt.
  4. Scroll down the page to the line that identifies your host ID, identified in Windows as a Physical Address.
  5. Copy your Physical Address.

How do I find my network ID subnet?

To calculate the Network ID of a subnet, take an IP address within the subnet and run the AND operator (on a calculator) on the subnet mask. Using a calculator to find the Network ID is the easy way as you do not have to convert it into binary form. Once the Network ID is found, calculating the Broadcast ID is easy.

What is host number?

On a TCP/IP network, each host has a host number that, together with a network identity, forms its own unique IP address. In the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, protocols in the transport layer, also known as Layer 4, are responsible for communication between hosts.

How do I find my host ID Linux?

Obtaining the HostID on Linux

  1. Open an xterm window.
  2. Type in hostname at the command prompt and press Return. The output is the server name.
  3. Type in /sbin/ifconfig eth0 at the command prompt and press Return. The HostID is the 12-digit number after “ether”.

What is Network ID example?

The network ID is found by logically ANDing the binary form of the IP address with the binary form of the subnet mask for the network. For example, if a host has an IP address of 172.16. 8.55 on a network with a subnet mask of 255.255. 0.0 (the default subnet mask), the network ID of the host is 172.16.

How do you calculate network ID from subnet mask and IP address?

How do I find my subnet in Linux?

Ubuntu Linux

  1. Launch the Terminal application.
  2. Type “ifconfig” at the terminal prompt, then press the “Enter” key. The IP address is labeled as “inet addr.” The subnet is labeled as “Mask.”
  3. Type “netstat -r” at the command prompt, then press the “Enter” key to view the gateway address.
