B-10 Firmware User Guide The figure above shows an example of a block of IP addr esses being distributed corr ectly . The example follows these r ules: • An IP address must not be used as a static addr ess if it is also in a range of addresses being distributed by DHCP or MacIP . • A single IP address range is used by all the addr ess-ser ved [...]

Understanding IP Addressing B-11 Nested IP Subnets Under cer tain circumstances, you may want to cr eate remote subnets from the limited number of IP addr esses issued by your ISP or other authority . Y ou can do this using connection profiles. These subnets can be nested within the range of IP addresses available to your network. For example, sup[...]

B-12 Firmware User Guide Routers B and C (which could also be Routers) ser ve the two remote networks that ar e subnets of a.b.c.0. The subnetting is accomplished by configuring the Router with connection profiles for Routers B and C (see the following table). The Router’s connection profiles for Routers B and C cr eate entries in its IP routi[...]

Understanding IP Addressing B-13 Let’s see how a packet from the Inter net gets routed to the host with IP address a.b.c.249, which is ser ved by Router C. The packet first ar rives at Router A, which delivers it to its local network (a.b.c.0). The packet is then received by the Router, which examines its destination IP addr ess. The Router comp[...]

B-14 Firmware User Guide The following diagram illustrates the IP address space taken up by the two r emote IP subnets. Y ou can see from the diagram why the ter m nested is appropriate for describing these subnets.
