Configuring your public network

Configuring the SOHO public network for dynamic addressing

Out of the box, the SOHO is configured to obtain its public address information automatically, using dynamic DHCP. So if your ISP assigns you an address automatically (or dynamically), the SOHO itself will obtain all the addressing information it needs when it powers on and attempts to connect to the Internet. No further configuration of the SOHO is required. To complete the SOHO Public Network configuration, see “Release and renew the IP configuration” on page 19.
