Appendix C: IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Appendix C: IP Address, Subnet and Gateway This section discusses Communities, Gateways, IP Addresses and Subnet masking Communities A community is a string of printable ASCII characters that identifies a user group with the same access privileges. For example, a common community name is “public”. For security purposes, the SNMP agent validates requests before responding.
Appendix C: IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Subnetting and Subnet Masks Subnetting divides a network address into sub-network addresses to accommodate more than one physical network on a logical network. For example: A Class B company has 100 LANs (Local Area Networks) with 100 to 200 nodes on each LAN. To classify the nodes by its LANs on one main network, this company segments the network address into 100 sub-network addresses. If the Class B network address is 150.1.x.
Appendix D: Glossary Appendix D: Glossary The Glossary section defines the terms used in this User Manual Term Ethernet Gateway IP IP Address MAC MIB NMS OID Router SNMP TCP/IP Definition Local Area Network technology, originally developed by Xerox Corporation, can link up to 1,024 nodes in a bus network. Ethernet provides raw data transfer in a rate of 10 megabits/sec. with actual throughputs in 2 to 3 megabits/sec. using a baseband (single-channel) communication technique.
