Chapter 5 Configuring Advanced Settings

Unnumbered Mode/VIP Mode

If a block of public static IP addresses was purchased from the ISP, select Unnumbered Mode by clicking in the appropriate check box. Then, enter the IP Address and Subnet Mask in the “Gateway Address” and “Unnumbered Subnet Mask” text boxes below “Unnumbered IP Address.” Click Next, then click Save and Restart to make all changes permanent.

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 WAN-to-LAN, as well as LAN-to-WAN.

Note: The IP address information should be obtained from the ISP when purchasing a block of public static IP addresses. 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.

After configuring the settings, click Next, then click Save and Restart to make all changes permanent.
