Address areas
IP address
The IP address is comparable to a street address (street, house number). The IP
address is used to clearly identify a PC in the network. Each IP address can only
be assigned once in a network.
IP-address structure
An IP address consists of 4 bytes = 32 bits, each byte can adopt its own value
between 0 and 254. Represented in decimal form, the IP address is divided into
four octets.
Example: 192.168.2.1
IPv4
Since IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses, a maximum of 4294967296 unique addresses
are possible.
Since 8 bits are available per block, the value range per block is from 0 to 255.
Example: 192.168.2.1
A dened method from the ofce area generally exists. You should take this over
for reasons of consistency. In each case, co-ordinate the address area with the IT
department in order to avoid complications later.
