IP Setup and Network Address Translation 9-17

Go to the System Configuration screen. Select IP Address Serving and press Return. The IP Address Serving screen will appear.

IP Address Serving

Number of Client IP Addresses:

5

1st Client Address:

176.163.222.10

Client Default Gateway...

176.163.222.1

Serve DHCP Clients:

Yes

DHCP NetBios Options...

 

Serve BOOTP Clients:

Yes

Serve MacIP/KIP Clients:

Yes

MacIP/KIP Static Options...

 

Follow these steps to configure IP Address Serving:

If you enabled IP Address Serving, 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 R9100 will distribute to the client machines on your local area network. 12-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 what 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 R9100 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 Appendix B, “Understanding IP Addressing”). Your address range will be from .137-.143. In this example you would 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.
