IP Setup 10-13
IP Address Pools
The IP Address Pools screen allows you to configure a separate IP address serving pool for each of up to eight configured Ethernet IP subnets:
|
| IP Address Pools |
|
|
Subnet (# host addrs) | 1st Client Addr | Clients | Client Gateway | |
192.128.117.0 | (253) | 192.128.117.196 | 16 | 192.128.117.162 |
192.129.117.0 | (253) | 192.129.117.110 | 8 | 192.129.117.4 |
This screen consists of between two and eight rows of four columns each. There are exactly as many rows as there are Ethernet IP subnets configured on the IP Subnets screen.
■The Subnet (# host addrs) column is
You can edit the remaining columns in each row.
■The 1st Client Addr and Clients columns allow you to specify the base and extent of the address serving pool for a particular subnet. Entering 0.0.0.0 for the first client address or 0 for the number of clients indicates that no addresses will be served from the corresponding Ethernet IP subnet.
■The Client Gateway column allows you to specify the default gateway address that will be provided to clients served an address from the corresponding pool. The value defaults to the Netopia 4753’s IP address on the corresponding subnet (or the Netopia 4753’s default gateway, if that gateway is located on the subnet in question). You can override the value by entering any address that is part of the subnet.
DHCP, BootP, and dynamic WAN clients may receive an address from any one of the address serving pools configured on this screen.
