This screen displays up to eight rows of two editable columns, preceded by a row number between one and eight. If you have eight subnets configured, there will be eight rows on this screen. Otherwise, there will be one more row than the number of configured subnets. The last row will have the value 0.0.0.0 in both the IP address and subnet mask fields to indicate that you can edit the values in this row to configure an additional subnet. All eight row labels are always visible, regardless of the number of subnets configured.
