5. A DHCP-server automatically assigns IP addresses to recognized devices on the
network. We have to manually assign an IP address and a Subnet mask to the
computer, since there is no DHCP-server.
Set the Subnet mask. The subnet mask decides the size of the network.
Each position in the subnet mask controls how many possible options that posi‐
tion can have in the corresponding IP address. However, a large number means
fewer options and a small number means many possible options. The correspond‐
ing formula is:
Number of options = 256 – x
255 in a position means that there is only one possible option for that position
in the IP-address. 0 means that you have all 256 possible options from 0 to 255
available for that position of the IP-address. 255.255.255.0 is sometimes called a
C-network, and is the most commonly used network type. A C-network can, at the
most, host 256 devices on the same network.
6. Set the IP address. Use the same IP address as the device for the first three
sections. The last section in the IP address must be different.
