Overview Installation Troubleshooting Contact FAQ Specifications Glossary License Configuration: Basic Gateway TCP/IP Wireless USB IP address IPSec IKE ISAKMP ISDN ISO ISP ITU K kHz A unique 32-bit value that identifies each host on a TCP/IP network. TCP/IP networks route messages based on the destination IP address. An IP address has two parts: • The network address is assigned by IANA. • The SBG940 network administrator assigns a host address to each host connected to the SBG940, automatically using its DHCP server or as a static IP address. For a Class C network, the first 24 bits are the network address and the final 8 bits are the host address; in dotted-decimal format it appears "network.network.network.host." If you enable the SBG940 DHCP client on the WAN page, the cable provider automatically assigns the network address, subnet mask, domain name, and DNS server to provide a continuous Internet connection. The Internet Protocol Security protocols are IETF authentication and encryption standards for secure packet exchange over the Internet. IPSec works at OSI layer 3 and secures everything on the network.
