B-2 User’ s Reference Guide IP addresses indicate both the identity of the network and the identity of the individual host on the network. The number of bits used for the network number and the number of bits used for the host number can var y , as long as cer tain r ules ar e followed. The local network manager assigns IP host numbers to individ[...]

Understanding IP Addressing B-3 Subnet masks T o cr eate subnets, the network manager must define a subnet mask, a 32-bit number that indicates which bits in an IP address ar e used for network and subnetwork addresses and which ar e used for host addresses. One subnet mask should apply to all IP networks that are physically connected together and[...]

Understanding IP Addressing B-5 Background The IP addresses and r outing configurations for the devices shown in the diagram are outlined below .

B-6 User’ s Reference Guide There ar e two schemes for distributing the remaining IP addr esses: ■ Manually give each computer an address ■ Let the Netopia R9100 automatically distribute the addresses These two methods are not mutually exclusive; you can manually issue some of the addr esses while the rest are distributed by the Netopia R9100[...]

B-8 User’ s Reference Guide ■ The Netopia R9100 does release the DHCP addr ess back to the available DHCP address pool pr ecisely one hour after the last-heard lease r equest as some other DHCP implementations may hold on to the lease for an additional time after the lease expired, to act as a buf fer for variances in clocks between the client [...]

Understanding IP Addressing B-11 Nested IP subnets Under cer tain circumstances, you may want to cr eate remote subnets fr om the limited number of IP addresses issued by your ISP or other authority .

C-2 User’ s Reference Guide When the Netopia R9100 establishes a connection over its W AN inter face with another router it uses the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP).

C-4 User’ s Reference Guide The reasons for the IP addr ess changes are obvious fr om the preceding diagram, but what is not so obvious is why the TCP or UDP source por ts need to be changed as well. These ar e changed and maintained in an inter nal table so the Netopia R9100 can deter mine which host on the local LAN inter face sent the IP packe[...]

Understanding Netopia NA T Behavior C-5 Now both IP packets have the exact same source IP addr ess (200.1.1.40) and sour ce por ts (400).
