Figure 10 (Example of a DHCP Relay configuration)
By turning off the DHCP server and relay the network administrator must carefully configure the IP
address, Subnet Mask and DNS settings of every computer on your network. Do not assign the same IP
address to more than one computer and your CPE must be on the same subnet as all the other computers.
The apply button will temporarily save this connection. To make the change permanent you need to click
on
Tools
(at the top of the page) and select
System Commands
. At the system commands page, click on

4.5.2.1
Static IP address assignment
Your CPE’s default IP address and subnet mask are 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0; this subnet mask will allow
the CPE to support 254 users. If you want to support a larger number of users you can change the subnet
mask; but remember. The DHCP server is defaulted to only give out
255
IP addresses. Further remember
that if you change your CPEs’ IP address and you have DHCP enabled, the DHCP configuration must
reside within the same subnet
The default CPE is the routing device used to forward all traffic that is not addressed to a station within the
local subnet. Your ISP will provide you with the default CPE Address. Figure 11 shows a default CPE
address of 192.168.1.1 because this was the default CPE defined when the CLIP connection was configured.
The hostname can be any alphanumeric word that does not contain spaces. The domain name is used to in
conjunction with the host name to uniquely identify the CPE. To access the CPE’s web pages the user can
type 192.168.1.1 (the CPE’s default IP address) or type
mygateway
