IP Addresses
IP Address Configuration
IP addresses are made up of 32 bits of binary data that specify the network number (net ID) and host
number (host ID). The net ID is an address used for identifying a network. The host ID is an address
used for identifying a host (node).
IP addresses are divided into three classes, A, B, and C, so that the address system can be selected
according to the scale of the network. (Classes D and E are not used.)
(Cannot be used.)
(C
annot be used.)

The number of networks in each class and the number of hosts possible on the network differ accord-
ing to the class.

The 32 bits of binary data in an IP address are divided into four sections of eight bits each. IP address-
es are represented by the decimal equivalent of each of the four octets in the 32-bit address, each
separated by a period.
For example, the binary address 10000010 001
1
1010 00010001 00100000 would be represented as
130.58.17.32.
Allocating IP Addresses
You must assign IP addresses nodes so that each IP address is assigned only once in the network or
between several networks.
