Netopia PN Series manual Follow these steps to configure IP Address Serving

4-18 Reference Guide

	Follow these steps to configure IP Address Serving:
	■ Server Name is lists the Netopia Router’s name, model number
	and individual serial number. It is filled in automatically.
Small Office models only	■ To serve IP addresses to clients, select IP Address Serving and
	toggle it to Yes. Activating IP Address Serving automatically
	enables DHCP, WAN clients, and dynamic MacIP/KIP clients (if
	you have an AppleTalk model).
	■ Select Number of Client IP Addresses and enter the total number
	of contiguous IP addresses that the Netopia Router will distribute
	to the client machines on your local area network.
	■ 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 first want to 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 and or MacIP.
	■ Example: Your ISP has given your Netopia Router 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
	understanding IP addressing refer to Appendix C). Your address
	range will be from .137-.143. In this example you would enter
	192.168.6.138 as the 1st client address.
Non-Small Office models	■ To enable DHCP, select Serve DHCP Clients and toggle it to Yes.
	DHCP serving is automatic for other models when IP Address
	Serving is enabled.
Non-Small Office models	■ If Yes is selected in Serve DHCP Clients, select DHCP Serving
only	Options item and press Return. The DHCP Options screen
	appears.
