Table B-14
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 to manage routed IP addresses. All IP addresses have a
network part and a host part. The network part specifies a physical network. The host part
specifies a host on that physical network. The subnet mask allows a network administrator to
use some of the bits that are normally used to specify the host to instead specify physical
sub-networks within an organization. This helps organize and simplify routing between
physical networks.

IP Config Advanced Address Entry Fields
Field Description
G/W The default gateway forwards IP packets to and from a remote destination.
DNS The Domain Name System (DNS) is a distributed Internet directory service. DNS translates
domain names and IP addresses, and controls Internet email delivery. Most Internet services
require DNS to operate properly. If DNS is not configured, Web sites cannot be located and/or
email delivery fails.
WINS WINS is a Microsoft
®
Net BIOS name server. WINS eliminates the broadcasts needed to
resolve computer names to IP addresses by providing a cache or database of translations.
