Example

: If your Netmask is 255.255.254.0 then you would need to

Subnet Mask

A subnet mask is a setting used to screen information that is intended only
for the local network within a company and to tell a router that the infor-
mation should not be send outside the intranet.

A subnet mask resembles an IP address with its four quadrants of digits
(usually sets of three) and is normally set to 255.255.255.0. This setting
tells the router that a message in which the first three groups of numbers
are the same for both sender and receiver means these two devices are on
the same network. It also means this information should not be sent out to
another network.

To set the Subnet Mask for a device using Telnet:

Type in the command:

sysSubnetMaskSet

Example

: If your Subnet Mask is 255.255.254.0 then you would

need to convert the address to hexadecimal code (0xFFFFFE00 for
address 255.255.254.0) and type in the command:

sysSubnetMaskSet 0xFFFFFE00

Note

The normal Subnet Mask that ships with the Kayak frame is

255.255.255.0

, which would be

ffffff00

in hex.
