Encapsulation
If the Gateway is configured to obtain an
IP
address through
DHCP
or to specify a
static
IP
address, select the appropriate encapsulation option used by the ISP (
RFC
1483
Bridged or
RFC 1483
Routed ).
☞
Note : Contact the
ISP
if unsure of the proper configuration.
Unnumbered Mode/VIP Mode
If a block of public static
IP
addresses was purchased from the
ISP
, select
Unnumbered Mode by clicking in the appropriate check box. Then, enter the IP
Address and Subnet Mask in the “Gateway Address” and “Unnumbered Subnet
Mask” text boxes below the “Unnumbered
IP
Address.” Click Next , then click Save
and Restart to make all changes permanent.
The Unnumbered Mode feature automatically configures the appropriate
IP
rout-
ing for the
IP
Address block. The
IP
route will bypass

, enabling the public
IP
s
to be routed WAN
-to-
LAN
, as well as
LAN
-to-
WAN
.
☞
Note : The
IP
Address information should be obtained from the

the
ISP
if this information was not received.
