 |
|
| In order for a protocol to be routable, it must provide the ability to assign a network number and a host number to each individual device. Some protocols such as IPX only require that you assign a network number. IPX uses a host MAC address for the physical number. Other protocols, such as IP, require that you provide a complete address, as well as a subnet mask. The network address is obtained by ANDing the address with the subnet mask. |
