Network Configuration Fields
Name
Enter the name of network or host you want added to the list. This name has to unique; in other
words, it should not be present in the displayed list. A space cannot be used in the name; it is
considered an invalid character.
IP Address
Enter the IP address of the new network or host. The same address-mask pair should not be present
in the displayed list.
Subnet Mask
Enter the network mask for the network/host. For host addresses, the mask is entered
255.255.255.255
How to Confirm Your Entries
Confirm your entries by clicking the Add button.
After a successful definition, the new network is entered into the network table. This network will now
be referenced in other menus under this name. You can edit and delete networks by clicking Edit or
Delete in the Options column for the network you want to change. The Edit Network Publications
(in this example) is displayed. The name of the network cannot be changed, but the IP Address and
Subnet Mask can be edited. You can delete a newly created network by clicking on Delete in the
Options column for a desired network.
Example 1: IP address 192.168.2.1 – Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 – Define a private Class-C net.
Example 2: IP address 216.200.241.66 – Subnet mask 255.255.255.255 – Define a host in the
Internet.
Note About Entries: Entries can be made in the dot notation style (e.g. 255.255.255.0 for a class C
network).
Important Network Notes:
• LAN and WAN interfaces will change if changes are made to LAN/WAN IP addresses in Network
Setup.
• To define a single host, enter its IP address and use a netmask of 255.255.255.255. Technically,
single hosts are treated in the same way as networks.
• You can also use the bit "spelling" for the Subnet mask (e.g., write 30 instead of 255.255.255.252).
• A network or host can be deleted only if it is not used for any route or by any other module.
• If a network is being used by a routing section, that network cannot be edited. Similarly, if a host
address is edited and changed to a network address, and if that host was used by SNAT or DNAT,
the changed will not be performed.
