Network Basics

For devices to communicate over Ethernet, all devices must reside on the same subnet or have
access to the subnet through a gateway.

Each control card on an NV9000 router network must have a unique IP address.

An IP address is a 32-bit number divided into two portions, one identifying the subnet and the
other specifying the address of a device within the subnet. A subnet mask specifies where in the
IP address the division occurs.

An IP address is usually represented by four 8-bit values (octets) written in decimal. The typical
IP address for a router in an NV9000 system is

192.168.1.nnn

where nnn ranges from 1 to 254
