B-6 Compaq TaskSmart W2200 Appliance Server Administration Guide address is called the Media Access Control (MAC) address. A MAC address is a combination of manufacturer- and factory-assigned numbers. This method ensures that the device has a unique address. The second address is a combination of numbers that identifies a system at the TCP/IP protocol suite. This method identifies individual stations that are connected to subnetworks of an internetwork. The internetwork is a group of smaller networks, such as subnetworks or subnets, which are connected by routers. The routers know the addresses of the devices on their LAN. The router can pass messages on the local subnets directly to the recipients or pass the message out of the LAN if the message is intended for a destination beyond the local subnet. Routing protocols provide the mechanism of finding the efficient path for data to pass between the source and destination. Refer to Figure B-3 for examples of routing an address.

Address routing example IP network numbers represent portions of obtained addresses that companies and groups utilize for Internet access to their locations. When a company acquires an IP address, a range of numbers using that address can be assigned to devices on their network. The range of IP addresses available to a company depends on the type of address that it has acquired. A breakdown of the types of addresses and the numbering schemes is depicted in Figure B-4 and Table B-1.

Address routing example
IP network numbers represent portions of obtained addresses that companies
and groups utilize for Internet access to their locations. When a company
acquires an IP address, a range of numbers using that address can be assigned
to devices on their network. The range of IP addresses available to a company
depends on the type of address that it has acquired. A breakdown of the types
of addresses and the numbering schemes is depicted in Figure B-4 and
Table B-1.
