Private and Global Addresses
There are two kinds of IP addresses, private and global.
Generally, as shown below, global addresses in the intranet are allocated only to IP routers (such as
broadband routers) interfaced with the Internet. All other nodes in the intranet, which includes the built-
in EtherNet/ IP port, are allocated private addresses.

Description
Global address
These are IP addresses that connect directly to the Internet.
Allocated by application to NIC, each address is unique in
the world, and as many as 4.3 billion can be allocated world-
wide.
Private address
These are IP addresses for Intranet (LAN) use. Direct con-
nection to the Internet is not possible. Frames that include
private IP addresses are restricted by the router from being
sent outside the LAN.
