Chapter 4 Using Advanced Setup

Specify a Static IP Address

Select this option if the ISP service is configured to use RFC 1483 Bridged or

Routed using a Static IP Address. Enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default

Gateway Address provided by the ISP in the “Broadband Connection via Static

IP Address” screen, which causes the IP address and routing information to termi-

nate at the Gateway, as opposed to the IP address and routing information being

bridged to terminate at the computer. This allows the use of the router capabilities

for the Local Area Network (LAN).

☞

Note: Contact the ISP if unsure of the proper configuration.

Encapsulation

If the Gateway is configured to obtain an IP address through DHCP or to specify a

static IP address, select the appropriate encapsulation option used by the ISP (RFC

1483 Bridged or RFC 1483 Routed).

☞

Note: Contact the ISP if unsure of the proper configuration.

Unnumbered Mode/VIP Mode

If a block of public static IP addresses was purchased from the ISP, select

Unnumbered Mode by clicking in the appropriate check box. Then, enter the IP

Address and Subnet Mask in the “Gateway Address” and “Unnumbered Subnet

Mask” text boxes below the “Unnumbered IP Address.” Click Next, then click Save

and Restart to make all changes permanent.
