physical interfaces on the VPN Router 2750. For example, if you plan to

•
Subnet mask
The subnet mask specifies which IP addresses are directly reachable on the
network and which ones must be routed through a gateway. For example, the
IP address 10.2.3.3 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 indicates that all hosts
with addresses 10.2.n.n are directly reachable.
