ÄIP Address / Subnet mask size

The IP address consists of four 8-bit numbers and is represented by 4 fields separated by periods (“.”), where each field is specified by a decimal number (e.g. 199.169.1.10). Each decimal number must be less than or equal to 255 (the maximum value of an 8-bit binary number).

The IP address is first specified and then you will be prompted to enter the Subnet mask size.

The Subnet mask size defines the subnet mask by using the specified number to reserve a series of contiguous bit locations from the start of the entire IP address. These reserved bit locations are then used as the network portion of the IP address for the subnet.

For example, with a class C IP address, a subnet mask size of 26 will mask the 24 network address bits plus 2 host bits for the subnet address, resulting in 4 subnet addresses being created. (Note that depending on whether or not nonstandard subnets are allowed, not all of these addresses may be valid; see the sections on defining masks).

The default gateway parameter only needs to be defined when there is another IP router connected to the LAN that is the default gateway for this IP network.

Once the WAN connections have been established to the remote partner routers, the IP router portion of the routers will begin to build their routing tables according to the IP frames they receive from the network. Manual entries may be made in the routing tables by adding static IP routes.
