IP address The IP address is an address of a node on a network. An
IP address has two parts: a network portion and a node
portion. The network portion must be the same for all
nodes on a LAN network; the node portion must be
unique for all nodes on a LAN network.
There are two methods of entering an internet protocol (IP) address
within NMMGR:
1. Enter the fully qualified IP address (for example, Class C,
C 192.191.191 009).
OR
2. Enter only the network (nnn) and node (xxx) portions of the IP
address as four positive integers between 0 and 255 separated by
periods or blanks (for example, 15.123.44.98).
You need not enter the following items as NMMGR will fill these in:
• Class A, B, C
• Leading zeros for the network and node portion of the IP address.
HP assigns the network portion (initial nine digits) of IP addresses
from ARPA Class C, though your addresses may also be of Classes A
or B. The complete formats are:
Class A nnn xxx.xxx.xxx
