Configure Address Serving (DHCP, BOOTP, etc.) here.
Follow these steps to configure IP Address Serving:
If you enabled IP Address Serving, then DHCP, BootP clients, Dynamic WAN clients, and MacIP/KIP clients
(if you have the AppleTalk kit installed) are automatically enabled.
Select Number of Client IP Addresses and enter the total number of contiguous IP addresses that the
Netopia R6000 Series will distribute to the client machines on your local area network. Twelve-user models
are limited to twelve IP addresses.
In the screen example shown above, five Client IP addresses have been allocated.
Select 1st Client Address and enter the first client IP address that you will allocate to your first client
machine. For instance, on your local area network you may want to first figure out which machines are going
to be allocated specific static IP addresses so that you can determine the pool of IP addresses that you will
be serving addresses from via DHCP, BootP, Dynamic WAN, and/or MacIP.
Example: Your ISP has given your Netopia R6000 Series the IP address 192.168.6.137, with a subnet
mask of 255.255.255.248. The subnet mask allocated will give you six IP addresses to use when
connecting to the ISP over the Internet (for more information on IP addressing refer to
"Understanding IP
enter 192.168.6.138 as the 1st Client Address, since the router itself must have an IP address.
To enable DHCP, select Serve DHCP Clients and toggle it to Yes. DHCP serving is automatic when IP
Address Serving is enabled.
The default DHCP Lease time is one hour. This may be unnecessarily brief in your network environment.
Consequently, the DHCP lease time is now configurable. The DHCP Lease Time (Hours) setting allows you
to modify the router's default lease time of one hour. You can enter any number up to and including 168
hours (one week) for the DHCP lease.
