Contact your network administrator for the required

notation in the form
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,
where
xxx
is
in the range from 0 to 255.

IP address assigned to your facility and the
number of different networks desired. For
example, if a Class B address of 123.1.0.0 is
assigned to your company, and no more than
255 hosts will be assigned to any physical
