2-1-5. IP Address Assignment
For IP address configuration, there are three parameters needed to be filled in. They are
IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS.
IP address:
The address of the network device in the network is used for internetworking
communication. Its address structure looks is shown in the Fig. 2-11. It is “classful” because it is
split into predefined address classes or categories.
Each class has its own network range between the network identifier and host identifier
in the 32 bits address. Each IP address comprises two parts: network identifier (address) and host
identifier (address). The former indicates the network where the addressed host resides, and the
latter indicates the individual host in the network which the address of host refers to. And the
host identifier must be unique in the same LAN. Here the term of IP address we used is version 4,
known as IPv4.
