The official description of the IP address is in RFC 1166 “Internet Digit”. You can contact the Internet service
provider.
An interface has only one primary IP address. Run the following command in interface configuration mode to
configure the primary IP address and network mask of the network interface:
Run… To
ip address ip-address mask
Configure the main IP address of the
interface.
The mask is a part of the IP address, representing the network.
Our switches only support masks which are continuously set from the highest byte
according to the network character order.
