DHCP
Short for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol
used to assign an IP address to a device connected
to a Network.
IP Short for Internet Protocol, the IP is an address of a computer or
other network device on a network using IP or
TCP/IP. Every device on an IP-based network
requires an IP address to identify its location or
address on the network. Example: 192.168.2.10
IPzator
Barix IPzator™ technology is designed for the purpose that
the Barix device can create its own IP address
according to the network structure in case it can’t
receive one from your network. If DHCP, AUTOIP or
BOOTP fail, IPzator will create an IP address within
the subnet and test it. If the address works and is not
being used by another device on the network, it will
give the address to the Barix device.
MAC address
Abbreviation for Medium Access Control, a MAC is a
unique address number formatted in hexadecimal
format and given to each computer and/or network
device on a computer network. Because a MAC
address is a unique address a computer network will
not have the same MAC address assigned to more
than one computer or network device. Example:
A1:B2:C3:D4:E5:F6
Netmask A number used to identify a sub network so that an IP
address can be shared on a LAN (Local Area
Network).
A mask is used to determine what subnet an IP
address belongs to. An IP address has two
components, the network address and the host
address. For example, consider the IP address
150.215.17.009. Assuming this is part of a Class B
network, the first two numbers (150.2) represent the
Class B network address, and the second two
numbers (.017.009) identify a particular host on this
network. The Netmask would then be 255.255.0.0 .
