2-1-4. IP Address Assignment 
 
For IP address configuration, there are three parameters needed to be filled 
in. They are IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS. 
 
IP address:  
The address of the network device in the network is used for internetworking 
communication. Its address structure looks is shown in the Fig. 2-8. It is “classful” 
because it is split into predefined address classes or categories.  
Each class has its own network range between the network identifier and 
host identifier in the 32 bits address. Each IP address comprises two parts: network 
identifier (address) and host identifier (address). The former indicates the network 
where the addressed host resides, and the latter indicates the individual host in the 
network which the address of host refers to. And the host identifier must be unique 
in the same LAN. Here the term of IP address we used is version 4, known as IPv4.
