Table 4-13. Static IP Address Entry Fields
Field Description
IP Address The Internet is a collection of networks with users that communicate with each other. Each communication carries the
address of the source and destination networks and the particular machine within the network associated with the user or
host computer at each end. This address is called the IP address (Internet Protocol address). Each node on the IP network
must be assigned a unique IP address that is made up of a network identifier and a host identifier. Enter the IP address as a
dotted-decimal notation with the decimal value of each octet separated by a period, for example, 192.168.7.27.
Subnet Mask Most TCP/IP networks use subnets in order to effectively manage routed IP addresses. Having an organization's network
divided into subnets allows it to be connected to the Internet with a single shared network address, for example,
255.255.255.0.
