Simple example (N = network section H = host section)

Where through the usage of VLSM (Variable length subnet masks), the class-full system is all but obsolete, the base addressing scheme e.g. And 192.168.0.255 is your broadcast address. 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254 where 192.168.0.0 was the network address (mainly requried for DCHP (Dynamic Contol Host Protocol)(what assigns your IP addresses)). Like user1801810 said /24 (255.255.255.0) is a class C private address (this means that it can be used by anyone, on a private network such as a home or a office) this traditonally gave 254 usable address e.g. Your questions are actually very broad so I hope the above helps and gets you started searching further. The configuration of the interface/network will determine the clients' configurations.įor example, in a typical residential broadband connection, if you change your internal interface from 192.168.1.1 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0, network 192.168.1.0, broadcast 192.168.1.255) to 10.0.0.1 (subnet mask 255.0.0.0, network 10.0.0.0, broadcast 10.255.255.255) the clients' gateways will be 10.0.0.1. I can simply suggest you to look into changing its "internal" interface IP address.

It's not possible to provide specific assistance with changing the configuration of your router without knowing what make/model it is (and version of software it is running). The various ranges allow for varying numbers of subnets and hosts within a subnet. There are various non-routable (private) address ranges.
