The relay IPADDR setting uses Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation
and a variable-length subnet mask (VLSM) to define its local network and host address.
An IP address consists of two parts: a prefix that identifies the network followed
by a host address within that network. Early network devices used a subnet mask
to define the network prefix of an associated host address. Within the mask, sub-
net boundaries were defined by the 8-bit segments of the 32-bit IP address. These
boundaries constrained network prefixes to 8, 16, or 24 bits, defining Class A, B,
and C networks, respectively.
This classful networking often created subnetworks that were not sized effi-
ciently for actual requirements. CIDR allows more effective usage of a given
range of IP addresses. In CIDR notation, you enter the IPADDR setting in the
form a.b.c.d/p, where a.b.c.d is the host address in standard dotted decimal form
and p is the network prefix expressed as the number of “1” bits in the mask. For
example, if IPADDR := 192.168.1.2/24, the host address is 192.168.1.2 and the
network prefix is the first 24 bits of the address, or 192.168.1. The network
address is derived by applying the network prefix to IPADDR and filling the
remaining bits with zeros (in our example, it is 192.168.1.0). The broadcast
address is derived similarly, but the remaining bits are filled with ones
(192.168.1.255 for the example above). Neither the network (base) address nor the
broadcast address can be used for any host or router addresses on the network.
