Description

 

 

 

IP Address

Class A

Every device on a TCP/IP network must have an address

 

1.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255,

for identification. The IP address is a value consisting of

 

Class B

the network address and the host address on that

 

network. The value assigned to a network depends on

 

128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255,

 

the number of computers on that network.

 

Class C

 

The IP address is a 32-bit number. The number is made

 

192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255,

up of 4 parts, with each part consisting of 3 digits. One

 

Class D

part of the address identifies the network and another

 

part of the address identifies the host. The numbers in

 

224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255,

 

the address, which identify the host, are dependent on

 

Class E

 

the class.

 

240.0.0.0 to 247.255.255.255

There are 5 classes of IP addresses. Each class represents

 

 

a network having a certain number of computers. For

 

 

example, a Class C address is given to a network having

 

 

between 1 to 255 computers.

 

 

The numbers in each part of the code are translated

 

 

into binary code, which identifies the network and the

 

 

host.

 

 

IP addresses are assigned by the Internet Network

 

 

Information Center (InterNIC). InterNIC assigns the

 

 

network ID. Host IDs are assigned by the network

 

 

administrator.

 

 

 

IP Mask

Default IP mask for Class A

A subnet is a portion of a network that shares a

 

255.0.0.0

common address component. On TCP/IP networks,

 

Default IP mask for Class B

subnets are defined as all devices whose IP addresses

 

have the same prefix. For example, all devices whose IP

 

255.255.0.0

 

addresses begin with 133.100.100. are part of the same

 

Default IP mask for Class C

 

subnet. An IP mask allows you to filter IP addresses on a

 

255.255.255.0

subnet. When an IP address is configured, the IP mask is

 

Default IP mask for Class D

automatically configured according to the Class of the IP

 

Network.

 

255.255.255.225

 

Note: The default IP mask can be edited.

 

 

 

 

 

Default Gateway

 

The default gateway defines where frames will be sent,

 

 

if no explicit routing is defined in the routing table.

 

 

The default gateway can be an IP address or a WAN

 

 

interface. If you choose to use an IP address, enter the

 

 

address of the router that will deliver the frames.

 

 

Specifying an IP address for the default gateway is done

 

 

with shared media, such as LAN interface.

 

 

If you choose to use a WAN interface, the connection

 

 

to the router is point-to-point. Choose by interface and

 

 

enter the interface/DLCI number.
