IP Address Assignment
A static IP is a fixed IP that your ISP gives you. A dynamic IP is not fixed; the ISP assigns you a
different one each time. The Single User Account feature can be enabled or disabled if you have either
a dynamic or static IP. However the encapsulation method assigned influences your choices for IP
address and ENET ENCAP Gateway.
3.7.1 IP Assignment with PPPoA or PPPoE Encapsulation
If you have a dynamic IP, then the IP Address and ENET ENCAP Gateway fields are not applicable
(N/A). If you have a static IP, then you only need to fill in the IP Address field and not the ENET
ENCAP Gateway field.
3.7.2 IP Assignment with RFC 1483 Encapsulation
In this case the IP Address Assignment must be static with the same requirements for the IP Address
and ENET ENCAP Gateway fields as stated above.
3.7.3 IP Assignment with ENET ENCAP Encapsulation
In this case you can have either a static or dynamic IP. For a static IP you must fill in all the IP
Address and ENET ENCAP Gateway fields as supplied by your ISP. However for a dynamic IP, the
Prestige acts as a DHCP client on the WAN port and so the IP Address and ENET ENCAP Gateway
fields are not applicable (N/A) as the DHCP server assigns them to the Prestige.
3.7.4 Private IP Addresses
Every machine on the Internet must have a unique address. If your networks are isolated from the
Internet, for example, only between your two branch offices, you can assign any IP addresses to the
hosts without problems. However, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the
following three blocks of IP addresses specifically for private networks:
10.0.0.0
—
172.16.0.0
—
192.168.0.0
—
You can obtain your IP address from the IANA, from an ISP or it can be assigned from a private
network. If you belong to a small organization and your Internet access is through an ISP, the ISP can
provide you with the Internet addresses for your local networks. On the other hand, if you are part of a
much larger organization, you should consult your network administrator for the appropriate IP
addresses.
