30 30 Appendix This appendix has three sections: Reference , Glossary , and Troubleshooting . Reference This section discusses Communities, IP Addresses, Sub net masking, and routers/gateways. Communities A community is a string of printable ASCII characters that identifies a user group with the same access privileges. For example, a common communi[...]

31 IP addresses appear in dotted decima l (rather than in binary) notation. Dotted decimal notation divides the 32 - bit value into four 8 - bit groups, or octets, and separates each octet with a period. For example, 199.217.132.1 is an IP address in dotted decimal notation. To accommodate networks of different sizes, the IP address has three divis[...]

32 32 segments the network address into 100 subnetwork addresses. (If the Class B network address is 150.1.x.x, the address can be segmented further from 150.1.1.x through 150.1.100.x.) A sub net mask is a 3 2 - bit value that distinguishes the network ID from the host ID for different subnetworks on the same logical network. Like IP addresses, sub[...]
