IP address
The IP address is an address of a node on a network. An
IP address has two parts: a network portion and a node
portion. The network portion must be the same for all
nodes on a FDDI network; the node portion must be
unique for all nodes on a FDDI network.
There are two methods of entering an internet protocol (IP) address
within NMMGR:
1. Enter the fully qualified IP address (for example, Class C,
C 192.191.191 009).
OR
2. Enter only the network (nnn) and node (xxx) portions of the IP
address as four positive integers between 0 and 255 separated by
periods or blanks (for example, 15.123.44.98).
You need not enter the following items as NMMGR will fill these in:
• Class A, B, C
• Leading zeros for the network and node portion of the IP address.
