8. IP Addressing

Review the following information in preparation for selecting an IP addressing scheme.

Any legal host address is allowed for a given subnet. The address choice

Twithin the subnet is arbitrary.

A single route to a subnet is all that is needed to reach every device on a subnet. The unit’s routing table supports a maximum of 20 routes.

IP Addressing Example

See Figure 8-1, Peer IP Address Assignments, for an example of an IP addressing scheme. In the example, the Peer IP Address:

TRefers to the IP address of the unit configured as an NTU. Is assigned by the LTU.
