IP Address and Subnet Mask

Similar to the way houses on a street share a common street name, so too do computers on a LAN share one
common network number.
Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If the ISP or your network
administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the IP
addresses and the subnet mask.
The Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) reserves blocks of addresses specifically for private use;
please do not use any other numbers unless you are told otherwise. Let's say you select 192.168.1.0 as the
network number; which covers individual addresses, from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 (zero and 255 are
reserved). In other words, the first three numbers specify the network number while the last number
identifies an individual computer on that network.
Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address that is easy to remember, for instance,
192.168.1.3, for your Vantage RADIUS, but make sure that no other device on your network is using that
IP address.
