Table 4-14 Static IP Address Entry Fields

Field Description

IP Address The Internet is a collection of networks with users that communicate with each other. Each

communication carries the address of the source and destination networks and the particular

machine within the network associated with the user or host computer at each end. This

address is called the IP address (Internet Protocol address). Each node on the IP network

must be assigned a unique IP address that is made up of a network identifier and a host

identifier. Enter the IP address as a dotted-decimal notation with the decimal value of each

octet separated by a period, for example, 192.168.7.27.

Subnet Mask Most TCP/IP networks use subnets to manage routed IP addresses. Dividing an organization's

network into subnets allows it to connect to the Internet with a single shared network address,

for example, 255.255.255.0.

Table 4-15 IP Config Advanced Address Entry Fields

Field Description

G/W The default gateway forwards IP packets to and from a remote destination.

DNS The Domain Name System (DNS) is a distributed Internet directory service. DNS translates

domain names and IP addresses, and controls Internet email delivery. Most Internet services

require DNS to operate properly. If DNS is not configured, Web sites cannot be located and/or

email delivery fails.

WINS WINS is a Microsoft

Net BIOS name server. WINS eliminates the broadcasts needed to

resolve computer names to IP addresses by providing a cache or database of translations.
