The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your
Business Secure Router computes the subnet mask automatically based on the IP
address that you enter. You do not need to change the subnet mask computed by
the Business Secure Router unless you are instructed to do otherwise.
DNS Server address assignment
Use DNS (Domain Name System) to map a domain name to its corresponding IP
address and vice versa, for instance, the IP address of www.nortel.com is
47.249.48.20. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you
must know the IP address of a computer before you can access it.
The Business Secure Router can get the DNS server addresses in the following
ways:
•
The ISP tells you the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an
information sheet, when you sign up. If your ISP gives you DNS server
addresses, enter them in the DNS Server fields in DHCP Setup.
•
If the ISP did not give you DNS server information, leave the DNS Server
fields in DHCP Setup set to 0.0.0.0 for the ISP to dynamically assign the
DNS server IP addresses.
WAN MAC address
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The
MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal
characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
You can configure the MAC address of the WAN port by either using the factory
default or cloning the MAC address from a computer on your LAN. Once the
MAC address of the WAN port is successfully configured, the address is copied to
the rom file (configuration file) and does not change unless you change the setting
or upload a different rom file.
