General, Switch and IP Setup 19-9
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your VLC1012 computes the subnet
mask automatically based on the IP address that you entered. You don’t need to change the subnet mask computed
by the VLC1012 unless you are instructed to do otherwise. The factory default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
The default gateway specifies the IP address of the default gateway (next hop) for outgoing traffic. The default
gateway is specified as 0.0.0.0.
