decimal) between 0 and 255. The value should be 255.0.0.0 for a Class A network,
255.255.0.0 for a Class B network, and 255.255.255.0 for a Class C network, but custom
subnet masks are allowed.
Default Gateway – IP address that determines where packets with a destination address
outside the current subnet should be sent. This is usually the address of a router or a
