Subnet Mask

Enter the subnet mask associated with the IP address for this IP

 

 

interface.

 

 

 

 

The IP address for node-1, specified on the Node Names screen,

 

 

is 192.168.1.124. The 192 in the first octet puts this address in

 

 

the range of “Class C” addresses, which means the first 3 octets

 

 

are used for the network ID and the fourth octet is used for host

 

 

IDs.

 

 

 

 

The subnet mask defines the network and host parts of the IP

 

 

addresses. In the Subnet Mask for this example (192.168.1.224),

 

 

the 224 in the fourth octet indicates that 3 high-order bits from

 

 

the fourth octet are used to define subnets on the network

 

 

192.168.1 (224 = 128+64+32 = 11100000). The first 3 bits are

 

 

used for subnet IDs and the last 5 bits are used for host IDs.

 

 

Eight subnets can be defined with 3 bits and each subnet can

 

 

have a maximum of 32 hosts, defined with the remaining 5 bits.

 

 

Of these, only 6 subnets with 30 hosts each are usable.

 

 

The usable IP addresses in the 6 subnets have the following

 

 

ranges of values for the fourth octet: 33–62,

65–94, 97–126,

 

 

129–158, 161–190, and 193–222. The IP address for this

 

 

(node-1) IP interface, 192.168.1.124, is on the third subnet

 

 

because 124 lies in the range 97–126. Note that node 2 (adjunct,

 

 

192.168.1.125) and node 3 (router, 192.168.1.97) are both also

 

 

on the third subnet. Node 4 (192.168.1.51) and node 5

 

 

(192.168.1.39) are both on the first subnet.

 

 

 

The first and last IP addresses in each subnet are not usable as

 

 

host addresses because they have all 0’s or all 1’s for host IDs.

 

 

For example, in the third subnet, the fourth octet of the first IP

 

 

address is 96 (= 01100000) and the fourth octet of the last IP

 

 

address is 127 (= 01111111).

 

 

 

The “network address” of a subnet is the first IP address (the all

 

 

0’s host ID) of that subnet. In this example, the subnet addresses

 

 

of the six subnets are —

1st: 192.168.1.32

2nd: 192.168.1.64

 

 

3rd: 192.168.1.96 4th: 192.168.1.128 5th: 192.168.1.160

 

 

6th: 192.168.1.192.

 

 

 

 

See Chapter 1 for more information on IP addresses and

 

 

subnetting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gateway Addr

Enter the address of a network node that will serve as the default

 

 

gateway for the IP interface.

 

 

 

 

 

Net Rgn

Enter the region number for this IP interface.
