Netopia Router PN Series - Manual (Page 98)

4-18 Reference Guide
Follow these steps to configure IP Address Serving:
■ Server Name is lists the Netopia Router’s name, model number
and individual serial number. It is filled in automatically.
Small Office models only ■ To serve IP addresses to clients, select IP Address Serving and
toggle it to Yes. Activating IP Address Serving automatically
enables DHCP, WAN clients, and dynamic MacIP/KIP clients (if
you have an AppleTalk model).
■ Select Number of Client IP Addresses and enter the total number
of contiguous IP addresses that the Netopia Router will distribute
to the client machines on your local area network.
■ In the screen example shown above, five Client IP addresses
have been allocated.
■ Select 1st Client Address and enter the first client IP address
that you will allocate to your first client machine. For instance, on
your local area network you may first want to figure out what
machines are going to be allocated specific static IP addresses
so that you can determine the pool of IP addresses that you will
be serving addresses from via DHCP, BOOTP and or MacIP.
■ Example: Your ISP has given your Netopia Router the IP address
192.168.6.137, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.248. The
subnet mask allocated will give you six IP addresses to use when
connecting to the ISP over the Internet (for more information on
understanding IP addressing refer to Appendix C). Your address
range will be from .137-.143. In this example you would enter
192.168.6.138 as the 1st client address.
