Appendix B: IP Address, Subnet and Gateway
This section discusses Communities, Gateways, IP Addresses and Subnet
masking
Communities
A community is a string of printable ASCII characters that identies a
user group with the same access privileges. For example, a common
community name is “public”.
For security purposes, the SNMP agent validates requests before
responding. The agent can be congured so that only trap managers
that are members of a community can send requests and receive
responses from a particular community. This prevents unauthorized
managers from viewing or changing the conguration of a device.
Gateways
Gateway, also referred to as a router, is any computer with two or more
network adapters connecting to different physical networks. Gateways
allow for transmission of IP packets among networks on an Internet.
IP Addresses
Every device on an Internet must be assigned a unique IP (Internet
Protocol) address. An IP address is a 32-bit value comprised of a
network ID and a host ID. The network ID identies the logical network
to which a particular device belongs. The host ID identies the particular
device within the logical network. IP addresses distinguish devices on an
Internet from one another so that IP packets are properly transmitted.
IP addresses appear in dotted decimal (rather than in binary) notation.
Dotted decimal notation divides the 32-bit value into four 8-bit groups,
or octets, and separates each octet with a period. For example,
199.217.132.1 is an IP address in dotted decimal notation.
To accommodate networks of different sizes, the IP address has three
divisions – Classes A for large, B for medium and C for small. The
difference among the network classes is the number of octets reserved
for the network ID and the number of octets reserved for the host ID.
Page 89
Class Value of
First Octet
A 1-126 First octet Last three
B 128-191 First two
C 192-223 First two
Any value between 0 and 255 is valid as a host ID octet except for those
values the InterNIC reserves for other purposes.
Value Purpose
0, 255 Subnet masking
127 Loopback testing and interprocess communication on
224-254 IGMP multicast and other special protocols.
Subnetting and Subnet Masks
Subnetting divides a network address into sub-network addresses to
accommodate more than one physical network on a logical network.
For example:
A Class B company has 100 LANs (Local Area Networks) with 100 to
200 nodes on each LAN. To classify the nodes by its LANs on one
main network, this company segments the network address into 100
sub-network addresses. If the Class B network address is 150.1.x.x, the
address can be segmented further from 150.1.1.x through 150.1.100.x

ASUS CX200 Internet Camera
A subnet mask is a 32-bit value that distinguishes the network ID from
the host ID for different sub-networks on the same logical network. Like
IP addresses, subnet masks consist of four octets in dotted decimal
notation. You can use subnet masks to route and lter the transmission
of IP packets among your sub-networks. The value “255” is assigned to
octets that belong to the network ID, and the value “0” is assigned to
octets that belong to the host ID.
For the example above, if you want all the devices on the sub-networks
to receive each other’s IP packets, set the subnet mask to 255.255.0.0.
If you want the devices on a single sub-network only to receive IP
packets from other devices on its own sub-network, set the subnet mask
to 255.255.255.0 for the devices on the sub-network.
Subnet Mask Routing and Filtering
0.0.0.0 IP packets are transmitted to all devices.
255.0.0.0 IP packets are only transmitted to devices that
255.255.0.0 IP packets are only transmitted to devices
255.255.255.0 IP packets are only transmitted to devices
are IP that’s rst octet matches the sender’s IP
address’s rst octet.
that are IP that’s rst two octets match the
sender’s IP address’s rst two octets.
that are IP that’s rst three octets match the
sender’s IP address’s rst three octets.
