    By default, the CGNV is a DHCP client on the WAN (the CATV connection). It broadcasts an IP address over the cable network, and receives one from the service provider. By default, the CGNV is a DHCP server on the LAN; it provides IP addresses to computers on the LAN which request them.

  • Page 38: Routing Mode

    3.1.6 Routing Mode When your CGNV is in routing mode, it acts as a gateway for computers on the LAN to access the Internet. The service provider assigns an IP address to the CGNV on the WAN, and all traffic for LAN computers is sent to that IP address. The CGNV assigns private IP addresses to LAN computers (when DHCP is active), and transmits the relevant traffic to each private IP address.
