Gigaset A580 IP / US English / A31008-xxxx-xxxx-x-xxxx / glossary.fm / 24.04.2009
Version 8, 03.09.2008
IP address A unique address for a network component within a network based on the TCP/
IP protocols (e.g. LAN, Internet). On the
Internet, domain names are usually
assigned instead of IP addresses.
DNS assigns the corresponding IP address to
the domain name.
The IP address consists of four three-digit decimal numbers separated from one
another by a period (e.g. 223.94.233.2). The first decimal number can be
between 1 and 126 and between 128 and 223, the second and third between
0 and 255, and the fourth between 1 and 254.
The IP address is made up of the network number and the number of the
Net-
work subscriber
(e.g. phone). Depending on the Subnet mask, the front one,
two or three parts make up the network number and the rest of the IP address
addresses the network component. The network number of all the components
in any one network must be identical.
IP addresses can be assigned automatically with DHCP (dynamic IP addresses)
or manually (static IP addresses).

Local IP address
The local or private IP address is the address for a network component in the
local network (LAN). The network operator can assign any address he or she
wants. Devices that act as a link from a local network to the Internet (gateway
or router) have a public and a private IP address.

Media Access Control Address
Hardware address by means of which each network device (e.g. network card,
switch, phone) can be uniquely identified worldwide. It consists of 6 parts
(hexadecimal numbers) separated by a "-" (e.g. 00-90-65-44-00-3A).
The MAC address is assigned by the manufacturer and cannot be changed.
