Option Description Function
1 IP Address This option invokes another menu which is used to enter the IP
Address and the Subnet Mask for the MX410/MX412. The IP
Address is written in the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where
each 3-digit field has a value between 1 and 255.
N/A Subnet Mask This field displays the Subnet Mask. A subnet mask is used to
reduce the traffic on each subnetwork by confining traffic to
only the subnetwork for which it was intended. A subnet mask
makes the entire network more manageable. In effect, each
subnet functions as though it were an independent network,
keeping local traffic local and forwarding traffic to another
subnet only if the address of the data is external to the subnet.
The Subnet Mask is written in the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX,
where each 3-digit field has a value between 1 and 255.
2 Gateway This option invokes another menu which is used to enter the
address of the default gateway/router between the internal
network and the external network. The Gateway address is
written in the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where each 3-digit
field has a value between 1 and 255.
