Chapter 7 Appendix
QWhat are the rules for IP address assignment?
AIf the network is constructed with TCP/IP protocol, a unique IP address is required for each piece of network equipment. The following are basic rules of
the assignment. Rule1
Do not configure the same IP address to the network equipment in the same network group. Each piece of equipment must be assigned a unique IP address.
If the IP address is set [192.168.x.x], the Subnet Mask should be set [255.255.255.0] for example.
Rule2
The start address [xxx.xxx.xxx.0] and the last address [xxx.xxx.xxx.255] of the IP address must not be assigned to any other equipment. These address numbers are reserved.
Rule3
The IP address must correlate to a network number. If network numbers are different between the equipment, they cannot establish communica- tions each other. In this case, the router is placed in the networks to make the routing.
