Protocol Configuration Items TCP/IP Configuration • IP Address • Subnet mask • Gateway (when routers exist on your network) ■ IP Address An IP address is a series of numbers that identifies each computer connected to a network. An IP address consists of four numbers separated by dots. Each number is between 0 and 255. You must allocate a unique IP address that is correct for the attached network. (Example) In a small network, set the IP addresses by changing the final number. 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3 ■ Subnet mask Subnet masks restrict network communication, see example below - (Example) PC1 can talk to PC2 PC1 IP Address Subnet Mask 193. 1. 2. 3 255. 255. 0. 0 PC2 IP Address Subnet Mask 193. 1. 3. 4 255. 255. 0. 0 Here is an example of an IP address and a subnet mask.
