How does a Device Obtain an IP Address and Subnet Mask?
105
Part two (‘.100.8’) identifies the device within the network.
This type of IP Address operates on a subnet mask of ‘255.255.0.0’.
See
Table 4
for an example about how a network (only four computers
represented) and a Router might be configured.

IP Addressing and Subnet Masking
How does a Device
Obtain an IP
Address and
Subnet Mask?
There are three different ways to obtain an IP address and the subnet
mask. These are:
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Addressing
Static Addressing
Automatic Addressing (Auto-IP Addressing)
DHCP Addressing
The Router contains a DHCP server, which allows computers on your
network to obtain an IP address and subnet mask automatically. DHCP
assigns a temporary IP address and subnet mask which gets reallocated
once you disconnect from the network.
DHCP will work on any client Operating System such as Windows
®
95,
Windows 98 or Windows NT 4.0. Also, using DHCP means that the
same IP address and subnet mask will never be duplicated for devices
on the network. DHCP is particularly useful for networks with large
numbers of users on them.
Static Addressing
You must enter an IP Address and the subnet mask manually on every
device. Using a static IP and subnet mask means the address is
permanently fixed.
