Dynamic IP Address Connection for WAN
Home > WAN > Dynamic IP Address
A Dynamic IP Address
connection configures the
Router to automatically
obtain its global IP address
from a DHCP server on the
ISP's network. The service
provider assigns a global IP
address from a pool of
addresses available to the
service provider. Typically
the IP address assigned has
a long lease time, so it will
likely be the same address
each time the Router
requests an IP address.
To configure a Dynamic IP
Address connection,
perform the steps listed
below. Some of the settings
do not need to be changed
the first time the device is
set up, but can be changed
later if you choose. See the
table below for a description
of all the settings available
in this menu.
1. Choose the Dynamic IP Address option from the WAN Settings pull-down
menu.
2. Under the ATM VC Settings at the top of the menu should not be changed
unless you have been instructed to change them. However, if you are
instructed to change the VPI or VCI values, type in the values assigned for
your account. Leave the PVC and Virtual Circuit setting at the default (Pcv0
and Enabled) values for now. This can be used later if you are configuring
multiple virtual circuits for your ADSL service. For more information on ATM VC
Settings, see the table on page 31 below.
3. Under the Dynamic IP heading, choose the Connection Type from the
pull-down menu. This defines both the connection type and encapsulation
method used for your ADSL service. The available options are 1483 Bridged IP
LLC and 1483 Bridged IP VC-Mux. If have not been provided specific
information for the Connection Type setting, leave the default setting.
4. Some ISPs record the unique MAC address of your computer's Ethernet
