Where the network mask is:• 255.0.0.0 it can also be expressed as 8• 255.255.0.0 it can also be expressed as 16• 255.255.255.0 it can also be expressed as 24• 255.255.255.255 it can also be expressed as 32VariablesYou can use variables in some commands and features in the NortelSNAS software.TIP: Variables included in links are URL encoded.
