Address duplication and to standardise the IP Address
setting for your network. This offset value can be
entered only by increment of 10 (eg: 10,20,30,...). This
offset value combined with the value of your workgroup
setting will give your third IP Octet. |

2 and vary the value for Octet 3 to represent a city. (especially
for small/medium network which does not require

as blank and use Octet1.octet2.xxx.yyy to represent a
city especially for huge network. |
