An individual on a computer on the private network may point their web. This request is recognized to be beyond the. Linux gateway using the private network address. The request is returned to the. IP address to computer on the private. This is often called IP masquerading.

They range from 1. CIDR private network addresses. Most private. networks conform to this scheme. Examples. Range CIDR Notation.

Since IP addresses can be assigned to individual NICs by the user, it is possible to assign similar IP addresses to a group of interfaces and then easily. User Guide LaserJet P2030 Series Printer http:// P2030.
