4th Octet of
IP Mask (249) Bits 1 and 2 in the mask are “off”, and bits 0 and 3
- 7 are “on”, creating a value of 249 in the 4th octet.
Where a mask bit is “on”, the corresponding bit
setting in the address of a potentially authorized
station must match the IP Authorized Address
setting for that same bit. Where a mask bit is “off”
the corresponding bit setting in the address can be
either “on” or “off”. In this example, in order for a
station to be authorized to access the switch:
• The first three octets of the station’s IP address
must match the Authorized IP Address.
• Bit 0 and Bits 3 through 6 of the 4th octet in the
station’s address must be “on” (value = 1).
• Bit 7 of the 4th octet in the station’s address
must be “off” (value = 0).
• Bits 1 and 2 can be either “on” or “off”.
This means that stations with the IP address
13.28.227.X (where X is 121, 123, 125, or 127) are
authorized.

IP Mask 255 255 0 255 This combination specifies an authorized IP address of 10.33.xxx.1. It could be
applied, for example, to a subnetted network where each subnet is defined by the
third octet and includes a management station defined by the value of “1” in the
fourth octet of the station’s IP address.
