IP address
A unique 32-bit value that identifies each host on a TCP/IP network. TCP/IP networks route messages
based on the destination IP address. An IP address has two parts:
•
The network address is assigned by IANA.
•
The SBG940 network administrator assigns a host address to each host connected to the SBG940,
automatically using its DHCP server or as a static IP address.
For a Class C network, the first 24 bits are the network address and the final 8 bits are the host
address; in dotted-decimal format it appears “network.network.network.host.”
If you enable the SBG940 DHCP client on the WAN page, the cable provider automatically assigns the
network address, subnet mask, domain name, and DNS server to provide a continuous Internet
connection.
