 • Class B addresses are used for medium sized networks. The first 
two bytes identify the network and the last two identify the 
node. The first byte of a class B address must be in the range 128-
191. The address 128.150.50.10 identifies node 50.10 on network 
128.150.
 • Class C addresses are used for small networks. The first three 
bytes identify the network and the last byte identifies the port. 
The first byte of a class C address must be in the range 192-223. 
The address 192.138.217.10 identifies node 10 on network 
192.138.217.
To assign an IP address to a port, at the LCM prompt:
1. Type 
ipaddr <PORT-NUMBER> <IP ADDRESS>
For example, 
ipaddr 6 192.138.217.40
 would set the IP address of 
Port 6 to 192.138.217.40. LCM responds by displaying the IP address 
table, as shown under the 
ipaddr
 command.
