They use an eight-bit network number and a 24-bit node number.

  • Page 96: Netmask

    Reference Manual for the 108 Mbps Wireless Firewall Router WGT624 This addressing structure allows IP addresses to uniquely identify each physical network and each node on each physical network. For each unique value of the network portion of the address, the base address of the range (host address of all zeros) is known as the network address and is not usually assigned to a host.
  • Page 97 Reference Manual for the 108 Mbps Wireless Firewall Router WGT624 Subnet addressing allows us to split one IP network address into smaller multiple physical networks known as subnetworks. Some of the node numbers are used as a subnet number instead. A Class B address gives us 16 bits of node numbers translating to 64,000 nodes.

  • Page 132: Open System Authentication

    Reference Manual for the 108 Mbps Wireless Firewall Router WGT624 • Shared Key Authentication requires that the station and the access point have the same WEP Key to authenticate. These two authentication procedures are described below. Open System Authentication The following steps occur when two devices use Open System Authentication: The station sends an authentication request to the access point.
