Net Mask fields, which are required, and any others as
needed:
Field Description
Start/End IP
Addresses Specifies the lowest and highest
addresses in the pool, up to a
maximum range of 254 addresses. For
example, if the LAN port is assigned IP
address 192.168.1.1, then you could
create a pool with address range
192.168.1.2 – 192.168.1.254 for
distribution to your LAN computers.
Mac Address A MAC address is a manufacturer-
assigned hardware ID that is unique
for each device on a network. Use this
field only if you want to assign a
specific IP address to the computer
that uses this MAC address. If you
type a MAC address here, you must
have specified the same IP address in
both the Start IP Address and End IP
Address fields.
Net Mask Specifies which portion of each IP
address in this range refers to the
network and which portion refers to
the host (computer).For a description
of network masks and LAN network
masks, see Appendix 0. You can use
the network mask to distinguish
which pool of addresses should be
distributed to a particular subnet (as
explained on page 53.
Domain Name A user-friendly name that refers to the
subnet that includes the addresses in
this pool. This is used for reference
only.
Gateway
Address The address of the default gateway
for computers that receive IP
addresses from this pool. If no value is
specified, then the appropriate LAN
(eth-0) or USB (usb-0) port address on
the device will be distributed to each
PC as its gateway address, depending
on how each is connected.
See “Hops and gateways” on page 84
for an explanation of gateway
addresses.
