(time to live = 1), implying that all hosts in a subnet are
connected to the same link.
Default Gateway

access point to another network and is chosen when
the IP address does not belong to any other entities in
the Routing Table.

company IT department or a qualified networking professional if you are
not qualified to configure such a network.
