1. An IP address: a 32-bit field composed of four octets (8-bit numbers from 0 through 255). Each address has decimal notation to separate octet numbers, such as 208.24.132.184. Your DHCP server may allow you to setup a lease reservation for an IP address by providing the server with the Ethernet MAC address of the bridge. This sets the DHCP server to always provide the same IP address to the bridge. This setup can be useful for remote management of the bridge via Telnet or the Web interface. Because the method of setting up a lease reservation varies depending on the DHCP server being used, it is recommended you contact your network administrator for assistance. 2. A subnet mask: This indicates how the IP address is to be read. It also indicates how to separate the network identifying information from the bridge identifying information so the IP address can be interpreted correctly. For example, if a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 is applied for an address 10.85.189.24, it indicates that the unique bridge address is 24, located on the 10.85.189 subnetwork. 3. A default gateway: This is used to specify the address for the nearest bridge that is used by the host device to forward addressed packets on to the network. These previous three options (IP address, subnet mask, and gateway) are necessary for effective DHCP. 236 Appendix D
