The
IP
address
identifies
a
device
on
a
TCP/IP
network.
Every
device
on
a
network
must
have
a
unique
address.
The
range
of
valid
addresses
for
a
given
network
is
determined
by
the
value
of
the
Netmask.
Some
addresses
are
reserved
for
special
uses
such
as
network
and
broadcast.
For
example,
if
a
netmask
is
255.255.255.0
and
the
IP
address
assigned
to
the
device
is
192.168.1.3,
then
range
of
valid
addresses
is
192.168.1.1
through
192.168.1.254
as
192.168.1.0
is
the
value
reserved
for
the
network
and
192.168.1.255
is
the
value
reserved
for
the
broadcast
address.
