IP Concepts

This appendix describes some basic IP concepts, the TCP/IP addressing scheme and show how to assign IP

Addresses.

When setting up the Modem, you must make sure it has a valid IP address. Even if you will not use the WAN

port (ADSL port), you should, at the very least, make sure the Ethernet LAN port is assigned a valid IP address.

This is required for telnet, in-band SNMP management, and related functions such as “ trap” handling and TFTP

firmware download.

IP Addresses

The Internet Protocol (IP) was designed for routing data between network sites all over the world, and was later

adapted for routing data between networks within any site (often referred to as “ subnetworks” or “ subnets”). IP

includes a system by which a unique number can be assigned to each of the millions of networks and each of the

computers on those networks. Such a number is called an IP address.

To make IP addresses easy to understand, the originators of IP adopted a system of representation called “dotted

decimal” or “ dotted quad” notation. Below are examples of IP addresses written in this format:

201.202.203.204 189.21.241.56 125.87.0.1

Each of the four values in an IP address is the ordinary decimal (base 10) representation of a value that a

computer can handle using eight “ bits” (binary digits — 1s and 0s). The dots are simply convenient visual

separators.

Zeros are often used as placeholders in dotted decimal notation; 189.21.241.56 can therefore also appear as

189.021.241.056.

IP networks are divided into three classes on the basis of size. A full IP address contains a network portion and a

“ host” (device) portion. The network and host portions of the address are different lengths for different classes of

networks, as shown in the table below.

1 2 ... 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 ... 68 69
