Manage the LAN Settings
You can change the LAN IP services such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
and Routing Information Protocol (RIP).
By default, the cable data gateway uses private IP addresses on the LAN side and functions
as a DHCP server. The cable data gateway’s default LAN IP configuration is as follows:
• LAN IP address. 192.168.0.1
• Subnet mask. 255.255.255.0
These addresses are part of the designated private address range for use in private networks
and are suitable for most applications. If your network uses a dif
ferent IP addressing scheme,
then make those changes in the LAN Setup screen.
Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the cable data gateway while you
are connected through the browser, you are disconnected. To
continue to use the genie menus, open a new connection to the new
IP address and log in again.
