For any subnet<\/b>, for example, 44.2.147.15\/29 (which is 8 IP addresses) the breakdown is ALWAYS as follows on the xneelo network:<\/p>\n
1st \u201cNetwork IP\/ address\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n
Eg. 44.2.147.15<\/p>\n
This IP is the Network Address and it can not be used or allocated to your server. It is reserved for identifying the network.<\/p>\n
2nd \u201cGateway address\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n
Eg. 44.2.147.16 : if you ping this address, it goes to the router.<\/p>\n
The IP address on the xneelo Network that your server uses to send and receive communications. This is the default gateway configured on the server.<\/p>\n
3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th \u201cUsable addresses\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n
Eg. 44.2.147.17 [First Usable IP – that is usually the IP on which the server is accessed] & 44.2.147.18 & 44.2.147.19 & 44.2.147.20<\/p>\n
Each server requires an IP to identify it. These IPs can be assigned to your server and you can assign more than 1 IP to a server. Please note we only set up the first usable IP on your server.<\/p>\n
7th \u201cRemote Management Module [RMM]\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n
Eg. 44.2.147.21<\/p>\n
The IP address assigned to the RMM. The RMM is a remote access and management hardware module that allows you to set up, monitor and troubleshoot your Self-Managed Server from a remote location.<\/p>\n
8th \u201cBroadcast IP\u201d \/ Always the last IP<\/b><\/p>\n
Eg. 44.2.147.22<\/p>\n
Used for broadcasting messages to the entire network that your server resides on. This is the last IP in your subnet.<\/p>\n
Subnet mask:<\/b><\/p>\n
Eg. 255.255.255.248: Subnet Mask<\/p>\n
This defines the size of the network range assigned to you. \/29, \/30 – these are a way of defining the subnet size.<\/p>\n
A \/29 will ALWAYS have netmask 255.255.255.248
\nA \/30 will ALWAYS have netmask 255.255.255.252<\/p>\n","protected":false,"plain":"For any subnet<\/b>, for example, 44.2.147.15\/29 (which is 8 IP addresses) the breakdown is ALWAYS as follows on the xneelo network:\r\n\r\n1st \u201cNetwork IP\/ address\u201d<\/b>\r\n\r\nEg. 44.2.147.15\r\n\r\nThis IP is the Network Address and it can not be used or allocated to your server.
