Nortel Networks 350 manual Choosing a BootP Request Mode, Field Description Last BootP

	Using the Console Interface
Table 3-2.	IP Configuration/Setup Screen Fields (continued)
Field	Description
Last BootP	Column header for the read-only fields in this screen. The read-only data displayed
	in this column represents data obtained from the last BootP reply received.

In-Band IP Address The in-band IP address of the BayStack 350 switch.

Default Value:	0.0.0.0 (no IP address assigned)
Range:	Four-octet dotted-decimal notation, where each octet is
	represented as a decimal value, separated by a decimal point.

Note: When the IP address is entered in the In-Band IP Address field, and the In-Band Subnet Mask field value is not present, the software provides an in-usedefault value for the In-Band Subnet Mask field that is based on the class of the IP address entered in the In-Band IP Address field.

In-Band Subnet Mask The subnet address mask associated with the in-band IP address shown on the screen.

Network routers use the subnet mask to determine the network or subnet address portion of a host’s IP address. The bits in the IP address that contain the network address (including the subnet) are set to 1 in the address mask, and the bits that contain the host identifier are set to 0.

Default Value:	0.0.0.0 (no subnet mask assigned)
Range:	Four-octet dotted-decimal notation, where each octet is
	represented as a decimal value, separated by a decimal point.

Default Gateway The IP address of the default gateway.

Default Value:	0.0.0.0 (no IP address assigned)
Range:	Four-octet dotted-decimal notation, where each octet is
	represented as a decimal value, separated by a decimal point.
