4. 3 APPENDIX B Planning Security Operations e Mission Protect While the C2Home system has capabilities to support Command and Control operations beyond those limited to security operations security is certainly a component of C2 which should be taken most seriously The purpose of a security system in general should be to serve to provide some level of protection for the element of concern The element of concern can generally be assumed to be persons and or property While security systems can frequently help in recovering damages this should be considered a secondary objective to be sought once sufficient assurance is in place to ensure that the elements of concern are no longer at risk The C2Home Server and the collection of hardware and systems making up your automated home security system should not be considered the complete end to end security solution Rather C2Home should be considered an augmentation to the system you currently have in place For example Your current security apparatus may just include windows door locks and your own senses detecting possible threats combined with your response involving telephone and the police C2Home can take the burden off your senses and the pressures to detect signals process these and filter threats and respond by taking measures to alert private or public authorities to respond C2Home can be viewed as a tool for security enhancement The effectiveness of the C2Home system as a se

59. y A default gateway can even be used when there are several gateways on a network The IP Address and Classes Hosts and networks IP addressing is based on the concept of hosts and networks A host is essentially anything on the network that is capable of receiving and transmitting IP packets on the network such as a workstation or a router It is not to be confused with a server servers and client workstations are all IP hosts The hosts are connected together by one or more networks The IP address of any host consists of its network address plus its own host address on the network IP addressing unlike say IPX addressing uses one address containing both network and host address How much of the address is used for the network portion and how much for the host portion varies from network to network IP addressing An IP address is 32 bits wide and as discussed it is composed of two parts the network number and the host number By convention it is expressed as four decimal numbers separated by periods such as 200 1 2 3 representing the decimal value of each of the four bytes Valid addresses thus range from 0 0 0 0 to 255 255 255 255 a total of about 4 3 billion addresses There are 5 different address classes You can determine which class any IP address is in by examining the first 4 bits of the IP address Class Prefix Network Number Host Number A 0 Bits 0 7 Bits 8 31 B 10 Bits 1 15 Bits 16 31 C 110 Bits 2
