Configuration

6710 Access Point User’s Guide 4-19

A router that connects subnet 1 to subnet 2 might have the

address 172.16.8.1 on subnet 1 and 172.16.16.1 on subnet 2.

A host with IP address 172.16.16.5 would specify an IP

router address of 172.16.16.1 to reach host 172.16.8.10.
IP routers are usually configured so a computer only needs

to know one router’s address. This is true even if several

routers on the segment connect to several other segments.
If you are using DHCP to obtain an IP router address, and

the DHCP server specifies a default IP router, the DHCP

server specification overrides the setting for IP Router.

IP Frame Type

IP Frame Type sets the type of frame containing IP traffic:

DIX
802.3
