The Internet is a collection of networks with users that communicate with
each other. Each communication carries the address of the source and
destination networks and the particular machine within the network
associated with the user or host computer at each end. This address is called
the IP address (Internet Protocol address). Each node on the IP network
must be assigned a unique IP address that is made up of a network identifier
and a host identifier. Enter the IP address as a dotted-decimal notation with
the decimal value of each octet separated by a period, for example,
192.168.7.27.
Most TCP/IP networks use subnets in order to effectively manage routed IP
addresses. Having an organization's network divided into subnets allows it to
be connected to the Internet with a single shared network address, for
example, 255.255.255.0.
The default gateway is a device that is used to forward IP packets to and from
a remote destination.
