Globally Assigned IP Network Addresses

If you intend to connect your network to other networks that use globally administered IP addresses, SMC strongly recommends that you use IP addresses that have a network address assigned to you. There is a formal process for assigning unique IP addresses to networks worldwide. For more information:

Please contact your internet service provider (ISP).
