IP Address Configuration
IP addresses are made up of 32 bits of binary data that specify the network number (net ID) and host
number (host ID). The net ID is an address used for identifying a network. The host ID is an address
used for identifying a host (node).
IP addresses are divided into three classes, A, B, and C, so that the address system can be selected
according to the scale of the network. (Classes D and E are not used.)

The number of networks in each class and the number of hosts possible on the network differ accord-
ing to the class.
Class
Number of networks
Number of hosts
Class A
Small
224−2 max. (16,777,214 max.)
Class B
Medium
216−2 max. (65,534 max.)
Class C
Large
28−2 max. (254 max.)
The 32 bits of binary data in an IP address are divided into four sections of eight bits each. IP address-
es are represented by the decimal equivalent of each of the four octets in the 32-bit address, each
separated by a period.
For example, the binary address 10000010 00111010 00010001 00100000 would be represented as
130.58.17.32.

Allocating IP Addresses
You must assign IP addresses nodes so that each IP address is assigned only once in the network or
between several networks.

Subnet Mask
Operation and management of a network can become very difficult if too many nodes are connected
on a single network. In such a case it can be helpful to configure the system so that a single network is
divided up into several subnetworks. Internally the network can be treated as a number of subnet-
works, but from the outside it acts as a single network and uses only a single network ID.
