Configuring ISDN and Leased Line Connections 2-19

The default address for the Local WAN IP Address is 0.0.0.0, which allows for dynamic addressing, when your ISP assigns an address each time you connect. However, you may enter another address if you want to use static addressing.

Note: When using Cisco-HDLC datalink encapsulation and Network Address Translation, you must use a static address.

When using numbered interfaces, the Netopia Router will use its local WAN IP address and subnet mask to send packets to the remote router. Both routers have WAN IP addresses and subnet masks associated with the connection.

If your ISP uses Unnumbered (System-based) Routing, select Remote IP Address and enter the IP address your ISP gave you. Then select Remote IP Mask and enter the IP subnet mask of the remote site you will connect to.

Note: If your ISP has not given you their IP or subnet mask addresses, then you may enter an IP address such as 127.0.0.2 and an IP subnet mask such as 255.0.0.0.

When using unnumbered interfaces, the Netopia Router will use either its local Ethernet IP address or its NAT (Network Address Translation) address (if so configured) and subnet mask to send packets to the remote router. Neither router has
