The netmasks table contains the network masks used to implement standard Internet subnetting.
The netmasks table has three
columns:
| Netmasks Table | |
|---|---|
| Column | Description |
| Addr | IP number of the network |
| Mask | Network mask to use on the network |
| Comment | Optional comment about the entry |
For network numbers, you can use the conventional IP dot notation used by workstation addresses, but leave zeroes in place of the workstation addresses. For example, the following entry:
128.32.0.0 255.255.255.0
means that class B network 128.32.0.0 should have 24 bits in its subnet field, and 8 bits in its host field.
