What is an IP Address?

A full explanation of IP addressing is beyond the scope of this user guide. However, the
following information is enough to get started.
An IP address is a 32‑bit binary number used to identify each device on an Ethernet
network. This number is usually represented by four decimal numbers (each in the range
0 to 255) separated by dots, (for example, 198.123.34.240). This is called "dotted decimal
notation".
An IP address is divided into two parts:
The network identifier
•
• The host identifier
On a given network, each address must have the same network identifier value, but have a
unique host identifier. There are, therefore, different classes of addresses that define:
• The range of valid addresses.
