  • Page 34: Appendix

    This appendix has three sections: Reference, Glossary, and Troubleshooting. Reference This section discusses Communities, IP Addresses, Sub net masking, and routers/gateways. Communities A community is a string of printable ASCII characters that identifies a user group with the same access privileges. For example, a common community name is “public.”...

  • Page 35: Subnetting And Subnet Masks

    IP addresses appear in dotted decimal (rather than in binary) notation. Dotted decimal notation divides the 32-bit value into four 8-bit groups, or octets, and separates each octet with a period. For example, 199.217.132.1 is an IP address in dotted decimal notation.
  • Page 36 segments the network address into 100 subnetwork addresses. (If the Class B network address is 150.1.x.x, the address can be segmented further from 150.1.1.x through 150.1.100.x.) A subnet mask is a 32-bit value that distinguishes the network ID from the host ID for different subnetworks on the same logical network.
