Subnet Masks
Subnet masks determine the maximum number of possible hosts on a network. 
You can also use subnet masks to divide one network into multiple sub-networks.
DNS
DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding 
IP address and vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important because 
without it, you must know the IP address of a networking device before you can 
access it.
DHCP
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server can assign your MAX-
207HW2R an IP address, subnet mask, DNS and other routing information when 
it’s turned on.
