Example: 192.168.0.1
Network of your LAN.

Example: 192.168.0.0
Netmask of your LAN.

Example: 255.255.255.0
Your default gateway. A default gateway is the machine that routes network traffic from and to other networks. Very often this is the router connected to the internet.

Examples: fli4l router ...
Number of additional routes. Additional route: network netmask gateway

Example: "192.168.7.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.6.99" routes all network traffic related to network "192.168.7.0/24" to the gateway machine "192.168.6.99"
Your domain name. The local domain your machine is a member of. All unqualified host names will automatically be expanded with the local domain suffix.

Example: local.network
