An Internet address is a 32-bit address assigned to hosts connec ted to a TCP/IP
network. It consists of a network part and a host part. While this address is expressed
to the network in binary form, it is usually written in decimal form. For example, the
binary Internet address
10000000 00001010 00000010 00011110
is written as follows in decimal form:

A device that examines data addresses, determines the most efficient pathway to the
destination, and routes the data accordingly. Each router has two addresses—one for
each network that it connects.
Use the Router 1 and Router 2 configuration menus to set the Internet address for one
or two routers.

A subnet address is the division of the Internet address's local pa rt into a physical
network part and a host part in order for the site to use a sin gle Internet address for
multiple physical networks or subnets. This division of the host part has no effect on
the Internet address when it goes outside of the site. The process of using s ubnet
addresses is known as subnet addressing, subnet routing, or subnetting.
