3.1.4 Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
The Internet Protocol specifies the format of packets, also called datagrams, and the addressing scheme.
Most networks combine IP with a higher-level protocol called TCP, which establishes a virtual connection be-
tween a destination and a source.

Field Description
DHCP Option
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Either enabled or dis-
abled.
IP Address
An identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. The
format of an IP address
is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated
by periods. Each number
can be 0 to 255.
Subnet Mask
A mask used to determine what subnet an IP address belongs
to. An IP address has two
components, the network address and the host address. The
first two numbers represent the Class B network address, and
the second two numbers identify a particular host on
this network.
Default Gateway
The default node on a network that serves as an entrance to
another network. In enterprises, the gateway is the computer
that routes the traffic from a workstation to the outside network
that is serving the Web pages. In homes, the gateway is the ISP
that connects the user to the Internet.
