![]() It would be a production that would have to span an entire metropolitan city and networked together to be viewed from an airplane. I don't think I will ever see a show, festival or install that will have more than 254 lighting consoles connected to the same network. Larger shows and festivals will have several lighting consoles controlling different aspects of the production, with a parent console controlling the children consoles (there are still operators at each of the children consoles). I believe all the digital lighting desks come pre-configured with Class C out of the box, for several reason's I would guess.Ĭlass C is has a very large IP cap for the lighting industry. Otherwise skip to the end for the abridged version. If you don't mind me rambling on about networking, I'll give you my take on the situation. You basically broke down my first few months into CCNA Cert. ![]() If the subnet is 255.0.0.0, it can connect to any IP matching 2.x.x.x. So a computer with an IP of 2.0.0.1 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, can connect to another computer at 2.0.0.2, but not to 2.1.1.2. A 0 in a spot means you can use whatever number. A 255 in a spot means that you can only connect to IPs with exactly the same number in that spot. You'll notice it also has the pattern of four digits,, just like an IP. It's usually done via a web interface or a little app that comes with the node.įYI, the subnet mask used to confuse the heck out of me, but essentially it's a nerdy way of limiting the range of IPs you can connect to. How to set up your node, depends on your node. Setting up your computer is explained here. They just have to have different IPs and matching subnets. If you ever get in the situation that you need to be in a specific range, setting both your computer and your node to a fixed IP and subnet mask is enough. Some consoles will be hardcoded to this range and can't connect on anything else. It's just historical convention, to keep them separated from other network traffic. These networks use the 255.255.255.0 subnet mask, or /24 CIDR notation.There is no real technical reason that Art-Net IPs should be in the 2.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x range. The starting host address is 192.0.0.0 and the ending address is 223.255.255.0. These networks use the 255.255.0.0 subnet mask, or /16 CIDR notation.Ĭlass C: Allows 2 8 host addresses on the network. The starting host address is 128.0.0.0 and the ending address is 191.255.0.0. These networks use the 255.0.0.0 subnet mask, or /8 CIDR notation.Ĭlass B: Allows 2 16 host addresses on the network. The starting host address is 0.0.0.0 and the ending address is 127.0.0.0. Specific size details are defined in the following class definitions:Ĭlass A: Allows 2 24 host addresses on the network. Network classes define how many addresses are allowed on the network, with class A being the largest and class C being the smallest. The above table uses Class A, B, and C to define network types. This means that the last 8 bits of the IP address are reserved for host IP addresses, thus IP addresses 192.168.0.15 through 192.168.0.255 will be allowed as host IP addresses on the network. This means that the first 24 bits of the IP address are reserved for network routing. 192.168.0.15 defines the address prefix, and /24 defines the number of bits reserved for the netmask. ![]() To understand what CIDR notation means, take the IP address 192.168.0.15 and the /24 CIDR, for example. CIDR accomplishes the same task as traditional subnet masking. It enables network administrators to group blocks of IP addresses into single routing networks. The following table details how many networks and IP addresses are allowed with each CIDR length and equivalent subnet masks.ĬIDR stands for Classlesss Inter-Domain Routing. CIDR defines which IP addresses, and how many host IP addresses will be allowed on the network. CIDR notation accomplishes the same task as network subnet masking.
