Chapter 4 Using Advanced Setup
The Unnumbered Mode feature automatically configures the appropriate IP rout- ing for the IP Address block. The IP route will bypass NAT, enabling the public IPs to be routed
☞Note: The IP Address information should be obtained from the ISP when purchasing a block of public static IP address. Contact the ISP if this information was not received.
VIP Mode - This feature is used in conjunction with Unnumbered Mode. When
VIP Mode is activated, the Modem uses NAT for private IP addressing for the local area network (LAN), allowing both public IP addressing and private IP addressing to be configured to the LAN simultaneously, while the DHCP server is reserved for private IP addressing. All computers using public IP addresses with Unnumbered Mode must have the public IP addresses statically assigned. Enter the static IP address in the text boxes below “Unnumbered IP Address.”
After configuring your settings, click Next, then click Save and Restart to make all changes permanent.
LAN IP Address
Selecting LAN IP Address in the “Configuring the Advanced Settings” screen gen- erates the “LAN IP Address” screen.
The values in the “Device IP Address” and “Device LAN Netmask” text boxes are the IP address and subnet mask of the Modem as seen on the network. These val- ues can be modified for your LAN network, but Actiontec recommends keeping the default factory settings (IP address 192.168.0.1; subnet mask 255.255.255.0).
