Internet Addresses
To determine a network address and host address from an internet
address, you must separate the network and host address fields. For
example, the bit representation of internet address 192.6.1.1 is
separated as follows:
Figure 6-2 Bit Representation of Internet Address
Assigning an Internet Address
Each node on the network has at least one internet address. When
assigning internet addresses, you must determine network addresses
and host addresses as described in this section.
NOTE When specifying internet addresses, do not use leading zeroes within
address fields. For example: 192.006.012.023 is incorrect; 192.6.12.23 is
correct.
