Prestige 650M-6x User’s Guide

Introduction to DSL

DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) technology enhances the data capacity of the existing twisted-pair wire that
runs between the local telephone company switching offices and most homes and offices. While the wire
itself can handle higher frequencies, the telephone switching equipment is designed to cut off signals above
4,000 Hz to filter noise off the voice line, but now everybody is searching for ways to get more bandwidth to
improve access to the Web - hence DSL technologies.

There are actually seven types of DSL service, ranging in speeds from 16 Kbits/sec to 52 Mbits/sec. The
services are either symmetrical (traffic flows at the same speed in both directions), or asymmetrical (the
downstream capacity is higher than the upstream capacity). Asymmetrical services (ADSL) are suitable for
Internet users because more information is usually downloaded than uploaded. For example, a simple button
click in a web browser can start an extended download that includes graphics and text.

As data rates increase, the carrying distance decreases. That means that users who are beyond a certain
distance from the telephone company’s central office may not be able to obtain the higher speeds.

A DSL connection is a point-to-point dedicated circuit, meaning that the link is always up and there is no
dialing required.

Introduction to ADSL

It is an asymmetrical technology, meaning that the downstream data rate is much higher than the upstream
data rate. As mentioned, this works well for a typical Internet session in which more information is
downloaded, for example, from Web servers, than is uploaded. ADSL operates in a frequency range that is
above the frequency range of voice services, so the two systems can operate over the same cable.

2.3 Resetting the Prestige

If you forget your password or cannot access the Prestige, you will need to use the RESET button at the back
of the Prestige to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will lose all
configurations that you had previously and the password will be reset to “1234”.

2.3.1 Using The Reset Button

Step 1. Make sure the PWR/SYS LED is on (not blinking).
Step 2. Press the RESET button for more than five seconds or until the PWR/SYS LED begins to blink

and then release it. When the PWR/SYS LED begins to blink, the defaults have been restored
and the Prestige restarts.

2.4 Changing the Password

It is highly recommended that you change the password for accessing the Prestige.

Change the Prestige default password by using the command shown next. Make sure you store the password
in a safe place.

Syntax:
sys password <new password>

LAN Setup

This chapter provides the information on LAN configuration.

4.1 LAN Overview

A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are attached. A
LAN is a computer network limited to the immediate area, usually the same building or floor of a building..

4.1.1 LANs, WANs and the Prestige

The actual physical connection determines whether the Prestige ports are LAN or WAN ports. There are two
separate IP networks, one inside the LAN network and the other outside the WAN network as shown next:

Figure 4-1 LAN and WAN IP Addresses

4.1.2 Multicast

Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways - Unicast (1 sender - 1 recipient) or
Broadcast (1 sender - everybody on the network). Multicast delivers IP packets to a group of hosts on the
network - not everybody and not just 1.

IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to establish membership in a
Multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. IGMP version 2 (RFC 2236) is an improvement over
version 1 (RFC 1112) but IGMP version 1 is still in wide use. If you would like to read more detailed

LAN Setup 4-1

Prestige 650M-6x User’s Guide

information about interoperability between IGMP version 2 and version 1, please see sections 4 and 5 of
RFC 2236. The class D IP address is used to identify host groups and can be in the range 224.0.0.0 to

239.255.255.255. The address 224.0.0.0 is not assigned to any group and is used by IP multicast computers.
The address 224.0.0.1 is used for query messages and is assigned to the permanent group of all IP hosts
(including gateways). All hosts must join the 224.0.0.1 group in order to participate in IGMP. The address

224.0.0.2 is assigned to the multicast routers group.

The Prestige supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and IGMP version 2 (IGMP-v2). At start up, the
Prestige queries all directly connected networks to gather group membership. After that, the Prestige
periodically updates this information.

Chapter 5

Ethernet Setup

This chapter provides the information on Ethernet configuration.

5.1 Ethernet Parameters

5.1.1 Speed

When auto-negotiation is turned on, an Ethernet port negotiates with the peer automatically to determine the
connection speed and duplex mode. If the peer Ethernet port does not support auto-negotiation or turns off
this feature, the device determines the connection speed by detecting the signal on the cable and using half
duplex mode. When the device’s auto-negotiation is turned off, an Ethernet port uses the pre-configured
speed and duplex mode when making a connection, thus requiring you to make sure that the settings of the
peer Ethernet port are the same in order to connect.

5.1.2 Duplex Mode

Duplex mode choices are half duplex or full duplex. When auto-negotiation is turned on, the Ethernet port on
the device negotiates with the peer automatically to determine the connection speed and duplex mode. When
a port is in half-duplex mode, it can either send data or receive data at a given time. When a port is in full­duplex mode, it can simultaneously send and receive data, effectively doubling its throughput.

5.1.3 Flow Control

A concentration of traffic on a port decreases port bandwidth and overflows buffer memory causing packet
discards and frame losses. Flow Control is used to regulate transmission of signals to match the bandwidth of
the receiving port.

The Prestige uses IEEE802.3x flow control in full duplex mode and back pressure flow control in half duplex
mode.

IEEE802.3x flow control is used in full duplex mode to send a pause signal to the sending port, causing it to
temporarily stop sending signals when the receiving port memory buffers fill.

Back pressure flow control is typically used in half duplex mode to send a "collision" signal to the sending
port (mimicking a state of packet collision) when the receiving port memory buffers are full causing the
sending port to temporarily stop sending signals and resend later.

Bridge Statistics

This chapter provides the information on bridge connection and packet statistics

6.1 Bridging in General

Bridging bases the forwarding decision on the MAC (Media Access Control), or hardware address, while
routing does it on the network layer (IP) address. Bridging allows the Prestige to transport packets of network
layer protocols that it does not route, for example, SNA, from one network to another. The caveat is that,
compared to routing, bridging generates more traffic for the same network layer protocol, and it also
demands more CPU cycles and memory.

For efficiency reasons, do not turn on bridging unless you need to support protocols other than IP on your
network. For IP, enable the routing if you need it; do not bridge what the Prestige can route.

6.2 Bridge Ethernet Setup

Basically, all non-local packets are bridged to the WAN. Your Prestige does not support IPX.

WAN Setup

This chapter provides the information on WAN configuration.

7.1 WAN IP Address Assignment

Every computer on the Internet must have a unique IP address. If your networks are isolated from the
Internet, for instance, only between your two branch offices, you can assign any IP addresses to the hosts
without problems. However, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following
three blocks of IP addresses specifically for private networks.

Table 7-1 Private IP Address Ranges

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255

172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255

192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

You can obtain your IP address from the IANA, from an ISP or have it assigned by a private network. If you
belong to a small organization and your Internet access is through an ISP, the ISP can provide you with the
Internet addresses for your local networks. On the other hand, if you are part of a much larger organization,
you should consult your network administrator for the appropriate IP addresses.

Regardless of your particular situation, do not create an arbitrary IP address;

always follow the guidelines above. For more information on address assignment,

please refer to RFC 1597, Address Allocation for Private Internets and RFC 1466,

Guidelines for Management of IP Address Space.

7.2 RFC 1483

RFC 1483 describes two methods for Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5).
The first method allows multiplexing of multiple protocols over a single ATM virtual circuit (LLC-based
multiplexing) and the second method assumes that each protocol is carried over a separate ATM virtual
circuit (VC-based multiplexing). Please refer to the RFC for more detailed information.

WAN Setup 7-1

Prestige 650M-6x User’s Guide

7.3 Multiplexing

There are two conventions to identify what protocols the virtual circuit (VC) is carrying. Be sure to use the
multiplexing method required by your ISP.

7.3.1 VC-based Multiplexing

In this case, by prior mutual agreement, each protocol is assigned to a specific virtual circuit; for example,
VC1 carries IP, etc. VC-based multiplexing may be dominant in environments where dynamic creation of
large numbers of ATM VCs is fast and economical.

7.3.2 LLC-based Multiplexing

In this case one VC carries multiple protocols with protocol identifying information being contained in each
packet header. Despite the extra bandwidth and processing overhead, this method may be advantageous if it
is not practical to have a separate VC for each carried protocol, for example, if charging heavily depends on
the number of simultaneous VCs.

7.4 VPI and VCI

Be sure to use the correct Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) numbers
assigned to you. The valid range for the VPI is 0 to 255 and for the VCI is 32 to 65535 (0 to 31 is reserved
for local management of ATM traffic). Please see the appendix for more information.

7.5 Introduction to ATM

ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) is a connection-oriented switching technology that uses fixed-size cells
to transmit data across a dedicated path (permanent virtual circuit (PVC)).

An ATM service contract is an agreement between the carrier and the subscriber to regulate the average rate
and fluctuations of data transmission over an ATM network. This agreement helps eliminate congestion,
which is important for transmission of real time data such as audio and video connections.

7.5.1 Quality of Service (QoS) Parameters

Peak Cell Rate (PCR) is the maximum rate at which the sender can send cells. This parameter may be lower
(but not higher) than the maximum line speed. 1 ATM cell is 53 bytes (424 bits), so a maximum speed of 832
Kbps gives a maximum PCR of 1962 cells/sec. This rate is not guaranteed because it is dependent on the line
speed.

Sustained Cell Rate (SCR) is the mean cell rate of each bursty (data flows followed by idle periods) traffic
source. It specifies the maximum average rate at which cells can be sent over the virtual connection. SCR
may not be greater than the PCR.

7-2 WAN Setup

Prestige 650M-6x User’s Guide

Maximum Burst Size (MBS) is the maximum number of cells that can be sent at the PCR. After MBS is
reached, cell rates fall below SCR until cell rate averages to the SCR again. At this time, more cells (up to
the MBS) can be sent at the PCR again.

The following figure illustrates the relationship between PCR, SCR and MBS.

Cell Transfer Delay (CTD) is the average time for a cell to be transferred from its source to its destination
over a virtual connection.

Cell Delay Variation (CDV) is difference between the maximum and minimum CTDs experienced during the
connection.

Cell Delay Variation Tolerance (CDVT) is the acceptable range of the CDV.

Figure 5-4 Example of Traffic Shaping

7.5.2 Service Categories

Service categories ensure that high priority transmissions get the bandwidth they need.

CBR (Constant Bit Rate) provides a fixed amount of bandwidth that is always available even if no data is
being sent. A PCR is specified and if traffic exceeds this rate, cells may be dropped. An example application
is a T1 circuit.

rt-VBR (real-time Variable Bit Rate) also provides a fixed amount of bandwidth (a PCR is specified) but is
only available when data is being sent. An example application is real-time videoconferencing.

nrt-VBR (non-real-time Variable Bit Rate) is commonly used for “bursty” traffic typical on LANs. PCR and
MBS define the burst levels, SCR defines the minimum level. An example application is multimedia e-mail.

WAN Setup 7-3

Prestige 650M-6x User’s Guide

Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR) does not guarantee bandwidth or throughput. Cells are dropped if there is not
enough bandwidth. Only the PCR is set. An example application is background file transfer.

7.6 Interleave Delay

Interleave delay is the wait (in milliseconds) that determines the size of a single block of data to be
interleaved (assembled) and then transmitted. Interleave delay is used when transmission error correction
(Reed- Solomon) is necessary due to a less than ideal telephone line. The bigger the delay, the bigger the data
block size, allowing better error correction to be performed. This may sometimes be referred to as a “slow
channel”.

An interleave delay of “0” means no interleaving takes place and transmission is faster (a “fast channel”).
This would be suitable if you have a good line where little error correction is necessary.

Reed-Solomon codes are block-based error correcting codes with a wide range of applications. The Reed­Solomon encoder takes a block of digital data and adds extra "redundant" bits. The Reed-Solomon decoder
processes each block and attempts to correct errors and recover the original data.

7.7 G.Hs

The G.hs (G standards handshake) is a list of standards DSLAMs (DSL Access Multiplexer) use to select a
common mode of operation and exchange data. G.hs standards include ITU-T Recommendations G.992.1,
G.992.2, G.993.1 and working draft T1E1.4/2000 009R3 VDSL contribution. G.hs occurs before the DSL
initialization sequence.

When G.hs is enabled in the VDSL modem, the DSLAM dictates (and overrides) all modem VDSL
parameters.

7.8 SNR (Signal-to-Noise-Ratio)

The Prestige uses SNR(Signal-to-Noise-Ratio) to determine line quality. SNR is the ratio of the amplitude of
the actual signal to the amplitude of noise signals at a given point in time. A slow SNR indicates poor line
quality. When SNR (upstream or downstream) falls below a pre-determined threshold, the Prestige then uses
rate adaptation.

IP Configuration

This chapter provides the information on IP commands

8.1 IP Address

Similar to the way houses on a street share a common street name, so too do computers on a LAN share one
common network number.

Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If the ISP or your network
administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the IP
addresses and the subnet mask.

If the ISP did not explicitly give you an IP network number, then most likely you have a single user account
and the ISP will assign you a dynamic IP address when the connection is established. If this is the case, it is
recommended that you select a network number from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.0 and you must enable the
Network Address Translation (NAT) feature of the Prestige. The Internet Assigned Number Authority
(IANA) reserved this block of addresses specifically for private use; please do not use any other number
unless you are told otherwise. Let's say you select 192.168.1.0 as the network number; which covers 254
individual addresses, from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 (zero and 255 are reserved). In other words, the first
three numbers specify the network number while the last number identifies an individual computer on that
network.

Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address that is easy to remember, for instance,

192.168.1.1, for your Prestige, but make sure that no other device on your network is using that IP address.

Syntax:

wan node mbs <mbs>

8.2 Introduction to ARP Table

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a protocol for mapping an Internet Protocol address (IP address) to a
physical machine address, also known as a Media Access Control or MAC address, on the local area
network.

An IP (version 4) address is 32 bits long. In an Ethernet LAN, MAC addresses are 48 bits long. The ARP
Table maintains an association between each MAC address and its corresponding IP address.

8.2.1 How ARP Works

When an incoming packet destined for a host device on a local area network arrives at the switch, the
switch's ARP program looks in the ARP Table and, if it finds the address, sends it to the device.

If no entry is found for the IP address, ARP broadcasts the request to all the devices on the LAN. The switch
fills in its own MAC and IP address in the sender address fields, and puts the known IP address of the target
in the target IP address field. In addition, the switch puts all ones in the target MAC field
(FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF is the Ethernet broadcast address). The replying device (which is either the IP address of
the device being sought or the router that knows the way) replaces the broadcast address with the target's
MAC address, swaps the sender and target pairs, and unicasts the answer directly back to the requesting
machine. ARP updates the ARP Table for future reference and then sends the packet to the MAC address that
replied.

Syntax:

ip arp status

This command displays the arp port statistics of your Prestige.

8.3 About Ping

Ping is a command you can use to check whether the Prestige can recognize other computers on your local
network. A ping command sends a message to the computer you specify. If the computer receives the
message, it sends messages in reply. Using ping, you can test whether the path to the device is working. To
use it, you must know the IP address or the host name of the computer you are trying to communicate with.

8.4 Ping Commands

Syntax:

ip ping [-LRdfnqrv] [-c count] [-i wait] [-l preload]
[-p pattern] [-s packetsize] [-t ttl]

[-I interface address] host

This command send ICMP echo request message to a remote host. The command options are case sensitive.

Table 8-1 Ping Commands

OPTION DESCRIPTION

-L

-R

-d

-f

-n

-g

-r

-v

-c count

This suppresses loopback of multicast packets.

This option only applies if the ping destination is a multicast address.

This is record route.

It includes the RECORD_ROUTE option in the ECHO_REQUEST packet and
displays the route buffer on returned packets. Note that the IP header is only large
enough for nine such routes. Many hosts ignore or discard this option.

This set the SO_DEBUG option on the socket being used.

This is flood ping.

For every ECHO_REQUEST sent a period ''.'' is printed, while for every
ECHO_REPLY received a backspace is printed. This provides a rapid display of how
many packets are being drooped. If interval is not given, it sets interval to zero and
outputs packets as fast as they come back or one hundred times per second,
whichever is more. Only the super-user may use his option with zero interval.

This is numeric output only.

No attempt will be made to look up symbolic names for host addresses.

This is quiet output.

Nothing is displayed except the summary lines at startup time and when finished.

Bypass the normal routing tables and send directly to a host on an attacked interface.
If the host is not on a directly attached network, an error is returned. This option can
be used to ping a local host through an interface that has no route through it provided
the option -I is also used.

This is verbose output.

Stop after sending count ECHO_REGUEST packets. With deadline option, ping waits
for cpimt ECJP_REPLY packets, until the timeout expires.

IP Configuration 8-3

Prestige 650M-6x User’s Guide

Table 8-1 Ping Commands

OPTION DESCRIPTION

-i interval

This is wait interval seconds between sending each packet.

The default is to wait for one second between each packet normally, or not to wait in
flood mode. Only super-user may set interval to values less 0.2 seconds.

-I interface
address

This set source address to specified interface address. Argument may be numeric IP
address or name of device. When pinging IPv6 link-local address this option is
required.

-l preload

If preload is specified, ping sends that many packets not waiting for reply. Only the
super-user may select preload more than 3.

-p patten

You may specify up to 16 ''pad'' bytes to fill out the packet you send. This is useful for
diagnosing data-dependent problems in a network. For example, -p ff will cause the
send packet to be filled with all ones.

-s packetsize

This specifies the number of data bytes to be sent. The default is 56, which translates
into 64 ICMP data bytes when combined with the 8 bytes of ICMP header data.

-t ttl

This sets the IP Time to Live (TTL).

Some examples are shown next.

8.5 Static Route Overview

Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected, and the Prestige has
no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the Prestige knows about network N2 in the following
figure through remote node Router 1. However, the Prestige is unable to route a packet to network N3
because it doesn't know that there is a route through the same remote node Router 1 (via gateway Router 2).
The static routes are for you to tell the Prestige about the networks beyond the remote nodes.

Troubleshooting

This chapter covers potential problems and the corresponding remedies.

Make sure you have securely attached the proper cables to the proper ports. Refer to Rear Panel section for
this information. If your Prestige still does not work properly, refer to the table shown next.

PROBLEM CORRECTIVE ACTION

No LEDs are on when I
turn the Prestige on.

The LAN LED(s) is off. Verify that the attached device(s) is turned on and properly connected.

The VDSL LED is not on or
is blinking.

Your Prestige or power adaptor may have malfunctioned. Check that the
power cable is connected properly and that you are using the supplied
power adaptor for your region. Make sure the power source is turned on and
that the Prestige is receiving sufficient power. Try a different power outlet. If
all this fails, contact your vendor.

Make sure the Ethernet cards are working on the attached devices.

Verify that the proper network cable type is used and its length does not
exceed 100 meters. Use unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted­pair (STP) Ethernet cables for the Ethernet ports. For 10 Base-T
connections, use 100W 2-pair UTP/STP Category 3, 4 or 5 cable(s). For
100 Base-TX connections, use 100W 2-pair UTP/STP Category 5 cable(s).

Make sure the distance from the Prestige to the DSLAM does not exceed

1.25km (3750feet). Rates deteriorate the further away the DSLAM is from
the modem. Check with your telephone company that the telephone line
quality is good enough for VDSL transmission.

If G.hs is disabled in the Prestige, then make sure the Prestige and the
remote DSLAM have the same VDSL parameters. Use the CI commands
(refer to the chapter on VDSL commands) to check your VDSL parameters
such as band plan, band modifier, channel type (is interleave delay set?),
encapsulation mode, VPI/VCI numbers, QoS parameters and service
categories.

When G.hs is enabled in the Prestige, the DSLAM dictates (and overrides)
all modem VDSL parameters.

Virtual Circuit Topology

ATM is a connection-oriented technology, meaning that it sets up virtual circuits over which end systems
communicate. The terminology for virtual circuits is as follows:

• Virtual Channel Logical connections between ATM switches

• Virtual Path A bundle of virtual channels

• Virtual Circuit A series of virtual paths between circuit end points

Diagram B-1 Virtual Circuit Topology

Think of a virtual path as a cable that contains a bundle of wires. The cable connects two points and wires
within the cable provide individual circuits between the two points. In an ATM cell header, a VPI (Virtual
Path Identifier) identifies a link formed by a virtual path; a VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) identifies a
channel within a virtual path.

The VPI and VCI identify a virtual path, that is, termination points between ATM switches. A series of
virtual paths make up a virtual circuit.

Your service provider should supply you with VPI/VCI numbers.

IP Subnetting

IP Addressing

Routers “route” based on the network number. The router that delivers the data packet to the correct
destination host uses the host ID.

IP Classes

An IP address is made up of four octets (eight bits), written in dotted decimal notation, for example,

192.168.1.1. IP addresses are categorized into different classes. The class of an address depends on the value

of its first octet.

 Class “A” addresses have a 0 in the left most bit. In a class “A” address the first octet is the network

number and the remaining three octets make up the host ID.

 Class “B” addresses have a 1 in the left most bit and a 0 in the next left most bit. In a class “B” address

the first two octets make up the network number and the two remaining octets make up the host ID.

 Class “C” addresses begin (starting from the left) with 1 1 0. In a class “C” address the first three octets

make up the network number and the last octet is the host ID.

 Class “D” addresses begin with 1 1 1 0. Class “D” addresses are used for multicasting. (There is also a

class “E” address. It is reserved for future use.)

Chart C-1 Classes of IP Addresses

IP ADDRESS: OCTET 1 OCTET 2 OCTET 3 OCTET 4

Class A 0 Network number Host ID Host ID Host ID

Class B 10 Network number Network number Host ID Host ID

Class C 110 Network number Network number Network number Host ID

Host IDs of all zeros or all ones are not allowed.

Therefore:

 A class “C” network (8 host bits) can have 2

 A class “B” address (16 host bits) can have 2

IP Subnetting C-1

8

–2 or 254 hosts.

16

–2 or 65534 hosts.

Prestige 650M-6x User’s Guide

A class “A” address (24 host bits) can have 224 –2 hosts (approximately 16 million hosts).

Since the first octet of a class “A” IP address must contain a “0”, the first octet of a class “A” address can
have a value of 0 to 127.

Similarly the first octet of a class “B” must begin with “10”, therefore the first octet of a class “B” address
has a valid range of 128 to 191. The first octet of a class “C” address begins with “110”, and therefore has a
range of 192 to 223.

Subnet Masks

A subnet mask is used to determine which bits are part of the network number, and which bits are part of the
host ID (using a logical AND operation). A subnet mask has 32 bits; each bit of the mask corresponds to a bit
of the IP address. If a bit in the subnet mask is a “1” then the corresponding bit in the IP address is part of the
network number. If a bit in the subnet mask is “0” then the corresponding bit in the IP address is part of the
host ID.

Subnet masks are expressed in dotted decimal notation just as IP addresses are. The “natural” masks for class
A, B and C IP addresses are as follows.

Chart C-3 “Natural” Masks

CLASS NATURAL MASK

A 255.0.0.0

B 255.255.0.0

C 255.255.255.0

Subnetting

With subnetting, the class arrangement of an IP address is ignored. For example, a class C address no longer
has to have 24 bits of network number and 8 bits of host ID. With subnetting, some of the host ID bits are
converted into network number bits. By convention, subnet masks always consist of a continuous sequence

C-2 IP Subnetting

Prestige 650M-6x User’s Guide

of ones beginning from the left most bit of the mask, followed by a continuous sequence of zeros, for a total
number of 32 bits.

Since the mask is always a continuous number of ones beginning from the left, followed by a continuous
number of zeros for the remainder of the 32 bit mask, you can simply specify the number of ones instead of
writing the value of each octet. This is usually specified by writing a “/” followed by the number of bits in
the mask after the address.

For example, 192.1.1.0 /25 is equivalent to saying 192.1.1.0 with mask 255.255.255.128.

The following table shows all possible subnet masks for a class “C” address using both notations.

Chart C-4 Alternative Subnet Mask Notation

255.255.255.248 /29 1111 1000

255.255.255.252 /30 1111 1100

The first mask shown is the class “C” natural mask. Normally if no mask is specified it is understood that the
natural mask is being used.

Example: Two Subnets

As an example, you have a class “C” address 192.168.1.0 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

Subnet Mask (Binary) 11111111.11111111.11111111. 00000000

The first three octets of the address make up the network number (class “C”). You want to have two separate
networks.

IP Subnetting C-3

Prestige 650M-6x User’s Guide

Divide the network 192.168.1.0 into two separate subnets by converting one of the host ID bits of the IP
address to a network number bit. The “borrowed” host ID bit can be either “0” or “1” thus giving two
subnets; 192.168.1.0 with mask 255.255.255.128 and 192.168.1.128 with mask 255.255.255.128.

In the following charts, shaded/bolded last octet bit values indicate host ID bits

“borrowed” to form network ID bits. The number of “borrowed” host ID bits

determines the number of subnets you can have. The remaining number of host ID

bits (after “borrowing”) determines the number of hosts you can have on each

subnet.

10000000

The remaining 7 bits determine the number of hosts each subnet can have. Host IDs of all zeros represent the
subnet itself and host IDs of all ones are the broadcast address for that subnet, so the actual number of hosts
available on each subnet in the example above is 2

7

– 2 or 126 hosts for each subnet.

192.168.1.0 with mask 255.255.255.128 is the subnet itself, and 192.168.1.127 with mask 255.255.255.128 is
the directed broadcast address for the first subnet. Therefore, the lowest IP address that can be assigned to an

C-4 IP Subnetting

Prestige 650M-6x User’s Guide

actual host for the first subnet is 192.168.1.1 and the highest is 192.168.1.126. Similarly the host ID range for
the second subnet is 192.168.1.129 to 192.168.1.254.

Example: Four Subnets

The above example illustrated using a 25-bit subnet mask to divide a class “C” address space into two
subnets. Similarly to divide a class “C” address into four subnets, you need to “borrow” two host ID bits to
give four possible combinations of 00, 01, 10 and 11. The subnet mask is 26 bits
(11111111.11111111.11111111.11000000) or 255.255.255.192. Each subnet contains 6 host ID bits, giving

Appendix D

Setting up Your Computer’s IP Address

All computers must have a 10M or 100M Ethernet adapter card and TCP/IP installed.

Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP, Macintosh OS 7 and later operating systems and all versions of
UNIX/LINUX include the software components you need to install and use TCP/IP on your computer.
Windows 3.1 requires the purchase of a third-party TCP/IP application package.

TCP/IP should already be installed on computers using Windows NT/2000/XP, Macintosh OS 7 and later
operating systems.

After the appropriate TCP/IP components are installed, configure the TCP/IP settings in order to
"communicate" with your network.

If you manually assign IP information instead of using dynamic assignment, make sure that your computers
have IP addresses that place them in the same subnet as the Prestige's LAN port.

Windows 95/98/Me

Click Start, Settings, Control Panel and double-click the
Network icon to open the Network window.
