An IP address (internet protocol address) is a numerical representation that uniquely identifies a specific interface on the network. 



STEPS
DIFFERENT IP VERSIONS

          a). IPv4 =IP version 4
                  is the fourth version of the Internet Protocol (IP). It is one of the core protocols of standards-based internetworking methods in the Internet, and was the first version deployed for production in the ARPANET in 1983. 
                                                                                       

          b). IPv6= IP version 6
               Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) is the most recent version of the Internet Protocol (IP), the  communication protocol that provides an identification and location system for computers on networks and routes traffic across the Internet 

HOW TO GET BINARY DIGIT/ HOW TO MAKE NETWORK ADDRESS?

*BINARY DIGIT HAS A TOTAL OF 255

CLASSES OF IP ADDRESS

  1. Class A - 1 to 126
  2. Class B - 128-191
  3. Class C - 192- 223
  4. Class D - 224- 239
  5. Class E - 240-255




* 127- is a loop back function of a network.
* Class D - is a multicast.
* Class E- is reserved for future or experimental purposes.

Some examples of a typical home networks
  • 192.168.1.1
  • 192.168.2.1

If the router’s LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1, please type in IP address 192.168.1.x （x is from 2 to 253）, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, and default gateway 192.168.1.1.
 
2) Select Use the following DNS server addresses, as shown in the following figure. And then type the DNS server IP address, which should be provided by your ISP. Finally remember to click OK to save settings.
Note: In most cases, type your local area DNS server IP addresses into it.
