STEP 2: Install a secondary NIC card, if needed.
STEP 3: Set up a secondary network that does not overlap the existing one:
In our example, the address space 192.168.1.0-192.168.1.255 is used by NIC1.
The IP address block 192.168.100.1 to 192.168.100.255 is available and is in
the private range.
We will choose 192.168.100.1-192.168.100.255 for the PC’s secondary NIC and
setup the port as follows:
IPv4 Address: 192.168.100.3
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway:192.168.100.3
a. On your host PC, open the Network and Internet settings in the control
panel:
Start >> Programs >> Control Panel >>Network and Internet >> View network status and tasks
b. Click Change adapter settings in the left-sidebar, and then right-click the
adapter to bring up the Properties window.
c. Open the TCP/IPv4 properties of the adapter and edit to the network
settings noted above.
NOTE: Refer to the Appendix A for step-by-step instructions and screenshots
on how to set up TCP/IPv4 properties.
IP Addressing Side Note:
The range of usable addresses is defined by the IP address and subnet mask.
• An IP address is a number that lies within the range of 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255. In the
ipconfig example shown in step 1, the IP address is 192.168.1.10.
• The subnet mask indicates where an address range starts and stops. For example, a subnet mask
255.255.255.240 has 15 usable addresses (255.255.255.255 – 255.255.255.240). In the
ipconfig example shown in step 1, the subnet is 255.255.255.0, or 255 addresses.
The subnet limits from anything.anything.anything.0 up to the max.
• The usable range for 192.168.1.10/255.255.255.0 is 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 (192.168.1.0
and 192.168.1.255 are reserved for Router and Broadcast messages).
• The usable range for 192.168.100.2/255.255.255.0 is 192.168.100.1 to 192.168.100.254
Not every IP address from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 is usable; however, these three ranges of IP
addresses are guaranteed open for private use:
• 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
• 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
• 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255
