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. 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 in order to effectively manage routed IP
addresses. Having an organization's network divided into subnets allows it to
be connected to the Internet with a single shared network address, for
example, 255.255.255.0.
