Details

IPv4 is the base protocol for addressing machines in the Internet, also known as version 4 of the IP protocol.
A successor protocol with extended address range is the IPv6 protocol. Before its development IPv4 was called IP.

IP-Address

In an IP network each machnine has an IP address and is part of a Subnet.
IPv4 addresses are 32-bit and are written as 4 dot separated decimal numbers, each number with a range of 0-255, ie:

IP-address: 192.168.178.1

This is called dot-decimal or 4-dotted notation, which is also used to specify a Subnet or Netmask.

Subnet

A Subnet is specified by its base address and a Netmask. There are 2 forms to write it:

Subnet: 192.168.178.0 - Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Subnet: 192.168.178.0/24

Both examples describe the same Subnet 192.168.178.0 - 192.168.178.255 with 8-bit address space (256 addresses).
This can address 254 hosts, since the base address is reserved to specify the Subnet and the end address is used as the
Broadcast address, which addresses all hosts in this Subnet.

Special-Use

The 32.bit address space covers 4 294 967 296 IPv4 addresses, but some of them are reserved for special use:

All address ranges which are not reserved for special use are considerd routable. (Table adapted from Wikipedia.int above)
Routing is the forwarding of an IP packet to the next Hop which is closer to the destnation IP address.

FRITZ!OS

• All Box-Models and FRITZ!OS versions support IPv4.
• The IPv4 address of the ADAM2 / EVA bootloaders is specified in my_ipaddress, by default it is 192.168.178.1.
• The IPv4 address of the Fritzbox Webinterface is specified in ar7.cfg, by default it is 192.168.178.1, see the lan interface.
• The Emergency-IP of the Webinterface is the Link-Local address 169.254.1.1, for older models 192.168.178.254.
