3.3.1 IP Alias Setup
IP alias allows you to partition a physical network into different logical networks over the
same Ethernet interface. The P-870MH-C1 supports three logical LAN interfaces via its single
physical Ethernet interface with the P-870MH-C1 itself as the gateway for each LAN network.
The following figure shows a LAN divided into subnets A, B, and C.
Figure 8 IP Alias Network Example
In Menu 3.2, you configure the first network. Move the cursor to Edit IP Alias field and press
[SPACEBAR] to choose Yes and press [ENTER] to display Menu 3.2.1 — IP Alias Setup as

IP Subnet Mask
Your P-870MH-C1 will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the
IP address that you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the
subnet mask computed by the P-870MH-C1 (refer to the appendices for
more information).
Multicast
IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to
