Note:
When the IP address is entered in the In-Band IP Address field, and the In-Band

In-Band IP Address field.
In-Band Subnet
Mask
The subnet address mask associated with the in-band IP address shown on the screen
(see Note above). Network routers use the subnet mask to determine the network or
subnet address portion of a host’s IP address. The bits in the IP address that contain the
network address (including the subnet) are set to 1 in the address mask, and the bits
that contain the host identifier are set to 0.
Default Value 0.0.0.0 (no subnet mask assigned)
Range Four-octet dotted-decimal notation, where each octet is represented
as a decimal value, separated by a decimal point
