IP address

A unique 32-bit value that identifies each host on a TCP/IP network. TCP/IP networks route messages
based on the destination IP address. An IP address has two parts:

The network address is assigned by IANA.

The SBG900 network administrator assigns a host address to each host connected to the

SBG900,

automatically using its DHCP server or as a static IP address.

For a Class C network, the first 24 bits are the network address and the final 8 bits are the host
address; in dotted-decimal format it appears “network.network.network.host.”

If you enable the

SBG900 DHCP client on the WAN page, the cable service provider automatically

assigns the network address, subnet mask, domain name, and DNS server to provide a continuous
Internet connection.
