Router; Domain Server - Intermec 6400 User Manual

SECTION 2
" NOTE:
" NOTE:
IP subnets partition traffic and are connected by routers.
The subnet mask parameter indicates how many bits of the
IP address represent a network number and how many
indicate a host number. The default subnet mask for the
6400 computer is 255.255.255.255.
The default subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 disables the use of
TCP/IP. It is not a valid subnet mask.
If you are using DHCP to automatically obtain an IP
subnet mask for this 6400 computer, the subnet mask
obtained from DHCP overrides the setting for the subnet
mask parameter (and all other IP settings).

Router

An IP router address is required only if your 6400 computer will
communicate with IP hosts that can be reached only through a
router.
The router parameter identifies the default IP router used
to forward data frames to addresses on another subnet.
The default is 000.000.000.000, which disables the ability
to exchange TCP/IP traffic with another subnet or network.
IP routers are usually configured so your 6400 computer
only needs to know one router's address. This is true even
if several routers on the segment connect to several other
segments.
If you are using DHCP to obtain an IP router address, and
the DHCP server specifies a default IP router, the server
specification overrides the setting for the router parameter.

Domain Server

A Domain Name System (DNS) server maps IP addresses
to hostnames. If your network uses a domain name server,
enter the server's IP address for the domain server
parameter. The default IP address is 000.000.000.000.
