IP Networking Basics Netmask 3. N ETMASK The netmask allows you to identify the network and host portions of an address without knowing the address class. The netmask is a 32-bit number, expressed in dot-notation, that is logically ANDed with the IP address to yield the network address.
However, NAT allows multiple users to share a single IP address, which may be assigned statically or dynamically by the ISP. NAT works by translating the internal IP addresses to a single global address as illustrated below. Xpeed Networks, Inc.
IP Networking Basics LAN Address Assignment User defined internal IP Addresses ISP provided 192.168.1.2 IP Address 192.168.1.3 172.16.1.26 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.4 X320R 192.168.1.5 In the illustration, the ISP has assigned the user a single IP address of 172.16.1.26. The user, however, has several PCs in his network. He has defined his network address to be 192.168.1.X, where 192.168.1.1 is reserved for the X320R.
RFC 791. 8. M For more information on IP networking, please refer to any of the several books on the subject including Interconnections Second Edition: Bridges, Routers, Switches and Internetworking Protocols, by Radia Perlman, published by Addi- son-Wesley. Xpeed Networks, Inc.
