The Netopia R6000 Series uses Internet Protocol (IP) to communicate both locally and with remote networks.
This chapter shows you how to configure the router to route IP traffic. You also learn how to configure the router
to serve IP addresses to hosts on your local network.
Netopia's IP routing features Network Address Translation and IP address serving.
This section covers the following topics:
"IP setup" on page 10-2
"IP address serving" on page 10-11
"More Address Serving Options" on page 10-19
"DHCP Relay Agent" on page 10-25
"Connection Profiles" on page 10-27
Network Address Translation allows communication between the LAN connected to the Netopia R6000 Series
and the Internet using a single IP address instead of a routed account with separate IP addresses for each
computer on the network.
Network Address Translation also provides increased security by hiding the local IP addresses of the LAN
connected to the Netopia R6000 Series from the outside world.
The setup is simpler, so ISPs typically offer Internet accounts supporting Network Address Translation at a
significant cost savings.
For a detailed discussion of Network Address Translation, see
Translation (MultiNAT)."
