TCP/IP
IP Address
IP address for the ADSL2/2+ Broadband Router, as seen from the local
LAN. Use the default value unless the address is already in use or your
LAN is using a different IP address range. In the latter case, enter an
unused IP Address from within the range used by your LAN.
Subnet Mask
The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C")
networks. For other networks, use the Subnet Mask for the LAN
segment to which the ADSL2/2+ Broadband Router is attached (the
same value as the PCs on that LAN segment).
DHCP Server
•
If Enabled, the ADSL2/2+ Broadband Router will allocate IP
Addresses to PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start
up. The default (and recommended) value is Enabled.
•
If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be
Disabled, and the existing DHCP server must be re-configured to
treat the ADSL2/2+ Broadband Router as the default Gateway.
See the following section for further details.
•
The
Start IP Address
and
Finish IP Address
fields set the values
used by the DHCP server when allocating IP Addresses to DHCP
clients. This range also determines the number of DHCP clients
supported.
See the following section for further details on using DHCP.
