Changing IPv4 Settings
Overview
The IPv4 settings define the IPv4 network of the FRITZ!Box. Without
these settings there is no IPv4 network. In the FRITZ!Box an IPv4
network is the default setting. You can change the IPv4 settings.
Changes to the IPv4 settings can have the result that the FRITZ!Box can
no longer be reached. Only make changes in this menu if you are profi
cient in network technology.
Application Scenario
In the following cases it is necessary to change the IPv4 address of the
FRITZ!Box:
•
VPN connection: The home network of the FRITZ!Box is connected
with another FRITZ!Box network via a LAN-LAN linkup.
•
The FRITZ!Box is integrated in an existing FRITZ!Box network and
both boxes are operating in router mode (cascaded).
In both cases the boxes involved cannot have identical IPv4 networks.
The IPv4 address must be changed in at least one FRITZ!Box.
Requirements
•
The IPv4 settings can be changed only when the advanced view is
enabled in the FRITZ!Box;
