IP Address. The LAN IP address of the modem router.
•
IP Subnet Mask. The LAN subnet mask of the modem router. Combined with the IP
•
address, the IP subnet mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to
it, and which have to be reached through a gateway or modem router.
Use Router as DHCP Server. By default, the modem router is a Dynamic Host
•
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default
gateway addresses to all computers connected to the modem router's LAN. The
assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the modem router. IP addresses
are assigned to the attached PCs from a pool of addresses specified in this screen. Each
pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.
For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the modem router are
satisfactory.
Reserved IP Addresses Setup. When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer
•
on the LAN, that computer always receives the same IP address each time it accesses
the modem router's DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses should be assigned to servers
that require permanent IP settings.
