Network Example
Use of private IP addresses is strongly recommended when configuring a SpeedNet SDR
Radio network. The following example of a SpeedNet SDR Radio network uses several
private IP subnets from the 192.168.0.0 block of private addresses.
The SpeedNet SDR Radio network, depicted in Figure 1, contains three Ethernet seg-
ments. The first segment uses the 192.168.200.0 Class C subnet, encompassing a range of
addresses from 192.168.200.1 to 192.168.200.254. The second segment uses the 192.168.201.0
Class C subnet, encompassing a range of addresses from 192.168.201.1 to 192.168.201.254.
The third segment uses the 192.168.202.0 Class C subnet, encompassing a range of addresses
from 192.168.202.1 to 192.168.202.254. All three radios share the 192.168.203.0 Class C subnet
for their wireless interfaces. It is over this common subnet that traffic is routed between
Ethernet segments.
