In this module you will learn how to: use the binary and hexadecimal numbers systems.
Why learn binary? There are many reasons to use the binary and hexadecimal number systems, but we'll concentrate on one. To meet our goal we'll use binary to compute an Internet Protocol (IP) subnet ID. While we're not going to do the same with HEX it is worth noting that the next version of the Internet Protocol will be in HEX, so we do have a reason for learning how to manipulate hexadecimal numbers.
Let's get started! From the links on the left you should be able to follow the sequence including a PDF of the course notes. If you are already familiar with binary, hexadecimal and IP or you want to know where you stand you should take the "PRE-TEST." If you do well on the PRE-TEST skip to the POST-TEST.
Sequence of instruction: The module is broken up into an introduction followed by five sections and a review. Each section has a lecture and/or demonstration portion and a test/feedback portion to let you know how you are doing. Of course the final step is a graded test.
The quiz links lead to feed back type quizzes to help you learn each objective and allow mistakes to be corrected as you take the quiz.
Start with the "Intro Video."
Lesson 1. You will learn how to:
a. Calculate the binary equivalent of a given decimal number.
b. Calculate the decimal equivalent of a given binary number.
Take feedback "Quiz - 1"
Lesson 2. You will learn how to:
Calculate the sums of any two decimal numbers in both decimal and binary.
Take feedback "Quiz - 2"
Lesson 3. You will learn how to:
a. Calculate the result of logically ANDing any two given binary numbers.
b. Calculate the result of logically ORing any two given binary numbers.
Take feedback "Quiz - 3"
Lesson 4. You will learn how to:
a. Identify the IP and subnet mask of any given IP addresses in the extended prefix format.
b. Explain purpose of an IP address, subnet mask and (network) subnet ID.
c. Calculate the (network) subnet ID of a given IP address and a subnet mask.
d. Determine the IP address and subnet mask of your computer.
Take feedback "Quiz - 4"
Lesson 5. "What the HEX" You will learn how to:
a. Calculate the hexadecimal equivalent of a given decimal number.
b. Calculate the decimal equivalent of a given hexadecimal number.
c. Calculate the sums and of any two decimal numbers in both decimal and hexadecimal.
