IP Address

The IP Address field allows you to designate the IP Address for the agent. The IP Address identifies the agent on a TCP/IP Network.

The format of an IP Address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. For example, 223.142.15.200 could be an IP Address. The first segment ranges from 0 to 223, the last three segments range from 0 to 255.

Within an isolated network, you can assign IP Addresses at random as long as each one is unique. If you are connecting the CPU directly to the Internet, standards require using a registered IP Address to avoid duplicates.

Subnet Mask

The Subnet Mask field determines the subnet and IP Address for the agent. Typically, an IP Address contains the network address and the host address.

If the network is divided into subnets, a part of the host address will be reserved to identify the particular subnet.

Default Gateway IP Address

The gateway is a combination of hardware and software that links two different types of networks. Gateways between networks, for example, allow users on different e-mail systems to exchange messages.

The gateway IP Address might identify a router that controls the flow of data packets to the node (computer, printer, etc.).
