IP Address
Choose either Static IP address or IP unnumbered.
IP Address
If you chose Static IP address, enter the IP address for this interface. Obtain this
value from your network administrator or service provider. For more information,
see IP Addresses and Subnet Masks.
Subnet Mask
If you chose Static IP address, enter the subnet mask. The subnet mask specifies
the portion of the IP address that provides the network address. This value is
synchronized with the subnet bits. Your network administrator or service provider
provides the value of the subnet mask or the network bits.
Subnet Bits
Alternatively, enter the network bits to specify how much of the IP address
provides the network address.
IP Unnumbered
If you chose IP unnumbered, the interface will share an IP address that has already
been assigned to another interface. Choose the interface whose I P address this
interface is to share.
