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 filter 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.
Appendix C: Glossary The Glossary section defines the terms used in this User Manual. Term Definition Ethernet Local Area Network technology, originally developed by Xerox Corporation, can link up to 1,024 nodes in a bus network. Ethernet provides raw data transfer in a rate of 10 megabits/sec. with actual throughputs in 2 to 3 megabits/sec. using a baseband (single-channel) communication technique.
Term Definition NMS Network Management Station OID Object Identifier – The variables defined in a MIB Router A computer that manages traffic between different network segments or different network topologies. It directs the destination IP address. The network media can be different, but the higher-level protocols must be the same. SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol – A standard protocol used to monitor IP hosts, networks, and gateways.
