If your ISP provides the Public LAN service, the VMG may use an LAN IP address that can be
accessed from the WAN.

8.6 The STB Vendor ID Screen
Set Top Box (STB) devices with dynamic IP addresses sometimes don't renew their IP addresses
before the lease time expires. This could lead to IP address conflicts if the STB continues to use an
IP address that gets assigned to another device. Use this screen to configure the Vendor IDs of
connected STBs, which have the VMG automatically created static DHCP entries for them when they
request IP addresses.

Enter the IP address of your VMG in dotted decimal notation.
Your VMG will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP address that you
assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use this value computed by the VMG.
