Ways Of Setting An Ip Address - HP 10Base-T Hub 24M Manual

Subnet Mask: The bit mask defines which portion of the IP address is the
subnet address and is written in the format X.X.X.X. The default value is
automatically generated and depends on the class of IP address that you
entered. See your network administrator for the subnet mask address. All
devices on your IP network must use the same subnet mask address.
Default Router: The routing IP address of the nearest router in your network.
The default is 0.0.0.0. If no routers are in your network, enter the IP address
of your hub.
Time To Live: The number of IP routers a packet is allowed to cross before
the packet is discarded. The default value is 64. Increase this value if the hub
is managed from a network management station that is more than 64 routers
away. The maximum allowable value is 255.
