Network Layer Addresses
ISDN
An ISDN address is a phone number provided by your 
telecommunications carrier. It can include a dial prefix, country 
code, area code, and phone number. It can consist of a maximum 
of 30 characters. If you create a subaddress, you must separate the 
phone number and the subaddress with a semicolon (;). The 
subaddress can be composed of a maximum of 20 characters.
The following is an example of a valid ISDN address, including 
a subaddress:
011122134567000;200
For complete information on ISDN addresses, refer to Using 
NETBuilder Family Software
.
AppleTalk
Consists of the network number and node ID. Each AppleTalk node 
address is unique throughout the AppleTalk Internet. For details on 
assigning an AppleTalk address, refer to Reference for NETBuilder 
Family Software
. The following is an example of an AppleTalk 
address:
4.23
DECnet
Consists of an area address and a node address. The area number 
identifies the area to which the router belongs. Enter an area 
number between 1 and 63. The node number assigned to the router 
must be unique within the area. Enter a node number between 1 
and 1,023. For details on assigning a DECnet address, refer to 
Reference for NETBuilder Family Software. The following is an 
example of a DECnet address: 
1.15
Internet
Also known as an IP address. It consists of up to 12 decimal digits 
arranged in four three-digit fields separated by periods, as shown in 
the following format:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 
Leading zeros can be omitted. For example, the following addresses 
are the same: 
010.002.002.001
10.2.2.1
An Internet address is required for:
A bridge/router port to perform IP routing
The bridge/router to be accessed via Telnet
The bridge/router to respond to the PING command from 
another host
The bridge/router to participate in SNMP-based network 
management
An address includes both a network number and a host number. The 
actual format of these numbers varies depending on the class of 
address being designated. Address class is determined by the value 
in the first octet of the address. 
Table 6-4 shows valid address classes, the range of the first address 
field, and the resulting address format. The maximum value for any 
single field is 255.
