11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000. Therefore sometimes a network mask can also be
described simply as "x" number of leading 1 is.
When both are represented side by side in their binary forms, all bits in the IP address that
corresponding to 1 in the network mask become part of the IP network address, and the
remaining bits correspond to the host ID.
For example, if the IP address for a device is, in its binary form,
11011001.10110000.10010000.00000111, and if its network mask is,
11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000
It means the device's network address is,
11011001.10110000.10010000.00000000, and its host ID is,
00000000.00000000.00000000.00000111. This is a convenient and efficient method for
access points to route IP packets to their destination.
ISP Gateway Address: (see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for
the Internet access point located at the ISP's office.
ISP: Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet
for individuals and other businesses or organizations.
LAN: Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected together in
a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network is considered as LAN.
MAC Address: MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware
address of a device connected to a network. The MAC address is a unique identifier for a device
with an Ethernet interface. It is comprised of two parts: 3 bytes of data that corresponds to the
Manufacturer ID (unique for each manufacturer), plus 3 bytes that are often used as the
product's serial number.
NAT: Network Address Translation. This process allows all of the computers on your home
network to use one IP address. Using the broadband access point's NAT capability, you can
access the Internet from any computer on your home network without having to purchase more
IP addresses from your ISP.
Port: Network Clients (LAN PC) uses port numbers to distinguish one network
application/protocol over another. Below is a list of common applications and protocol/port
numbers:
