Chapter 3: Configuring the LAN
IP Address
See the LAN administrator for a LAN IP address. Do one of the following:
•Enter an IP address for the LAN
•Use the default IP address for the LAN port which is 10.0.0.1. If you choose to use the default IP address, ensure that the devices on your LAN are on the same subnet as this modem LAN port.
•If you want a DHCP server on your LAN to automatically provide the modem LAN port IP address, select Client for the DHCP configuration (see DHCP Client below).
Subnet Mask
See the LAN administrator for the subnet mask. Do one of the following:
•Enter the subnet mask for the LAN
•Use the default subnet mask for the LAN port which is 255.255.255.0. If you choose to use the default subnet mask, ensure that it allows devices on your LAN to access the modem LAN port.
•If you want a DHCP server on your LAN to automatically provide the subnet mask in addition to the IP address, select Client for the DHCP configuration (see DHCP Client below).
DHCP Client
If a DHCP server is not set up and active on your LAN, do not enable DHCP client. DHCP Client mode is recommended for use only when bridging is used as the LAN protocol.
A DHCP server must be set up and active on the LAN prior to enabling this feature. When DHCP Client is Enabled, the modem automatically changes the LAN port IP address to all zeroes so that the DHCP server on the LAN can immediately serve it an IP address. This parameter is used when the LAN port is in bridging mode only.
