224.0.0.0 is not assigned to any group and is used by IP multicast computers. The address
224.0.0.1 is used for query messages and is assigned to the permanent group of all IP hosts
(including gateways). All hosts must join the 224.0.0.1 group in order to participate in IGMP.
The address 224.0.0.2 is assigned to the multicast routers group.
The P-660HWP-Dx supports both IGMP version 1 (
IGMP-v1
) and IGMP version 2 (
IGMP-
v2
). At start up, the P-660HWP-Dx queries all directly connected networks to gather group
membership. After that, the P-660HWP-Dx periodically updates this information. IP
multicasting can be enabled/disabled on the P-660HWP-Dx LAN and/or WAN interfaces in
the web configurator (
LAN
;
WAN
). Select
None
to disable IP multicasting on these
interfaces.
6.2.4 Any IP
Traditionally, you must set the IP addresses and the subnet masks of a computer and the P-
660HWP-Dx to be in the same subnet to allow the computer to access the Internet (through the
P-660HWP-Dx). In cases where your computer is required to use a static IP address in another
network, you may need to manually configure the network settings of the computer every time
you want to access the Internet via the P-660HWP-Dx.
With the Any IP feature and NAT enabled, the P-660HWP-Dx allows a computer to access the
Internet without changing the network settings (such as IP address and subnet mask) of the
computer, when the IP addresses of the computer and the P-660HWP-Dx are not in the same
subnet. Whether a computer is set to use a dynamic or static (fixed) IP address, you can simply
connect the computer to the P-660HWP-Dx and access the Internet.
The following figure depicts a scenario where a computer is set to use a static private IP
address in the corporate environment. In a residential house where a P-660HWP-Dx is
installed, you can still use the computer to access the Internet without changing the network
settings, even when the IP addresses of the computer and the P-660HWP-Dx are not in the
same subnet.

Any IP Example
The Any IP feature does not apply to a computer using either a dynamic IP address or a static
IP address that is in the same subnet as the P-660HWP-Dx’s IP address.
