IP Address (Modifiable)
Displays and allows the user to set the IP address for the 2E4X-27R. To
set the IP address, refer to
Section 5.7.1 . The IP address can also be set
through Runtime IP Address Discovery as previously described in
Section 1.3.4 .
Subnet Mask (Modifiable)
Displays the subnet mask for the 2E4X-27R. A subnet mask “masks out”
the network bits of the IP address by setting the bits in the mask to 1 when
the network treats the corresponding bits in the IP address as part of the
network or subnetwork address, or to 0 if the corresponding bit identifies
the host. When an IP address is entered in the IP Address field, the Subnet
Mask field automatically changes to the default subnet mask for that IP
address. For details about how to change the subnet mask from its default
value, refer to
Section 5.7.2 .
