Chapter 8 Home Networking IP Pool Setup The Device is pre-configured with a pool of IP addresses for the DHCP clients (DHCP Pool). See the product specifications in the appendices. Do not assign static IP addresses from the DHCP pool to your LAN computers. 8.11.3 DNS Server Addresses DNS (Domain Name System) maps a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before you can access it. The DNS server addresses you enter when you set up DHCP are passed to the client machines along with the assigned IP address and subnet mask. There are two ways that an ISP disseminates the DNS server addresses. • The ISP tells you the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, when you sign up. If your ISP gives you DNS server addresses, enter them in the DNS Server fields in the DHCP Setup screen. • Some ISPs choose to disseminate the DNS server addresses using the DNS server extensions of IPCP (IP Control Protocol) after the connection is up. If your ISP did not give you explicit DNS servers, chances are the DNS servers are conveyed through IPCP negotiation. The Device supports the IPCP DNS server extensions through the DNS proxy feature. Please note that DNS proxy works only when the ISP uses the IPCP DNS server extensions. It does not mean you can leave the DNS servers out of the DHCP setup under all circumstances. If your ISP gives you explicit DNS servers, make sure that you enter their IP addresses in the DHCP Setup screen. 8.11.4 LAN TCP/IP The Device has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses and DNS servers to systems that support DHCP client capability. IP Address and Subnet Mask Similar to the way houses on a street share a common street name, so too do computers on a LAN share one common network number. Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If the ISP or your network administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the IP addresses and the subnet mask. If the ISP did not explicitly give you an IP network number, then most likely you have a single user account and the ISP will assign you a dynamic IP address when the connection is established. If this is the case, it is recommended that you select a network number from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.0 and you must enable the Network Address Translation (NAT) feature of the Device. The Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) reserved this block of addresses specifically for private use; please do not use any other number unless you are told otherwise. Let's say you select 192.168.1.0 as the network number; which covers 254 individual addresses, from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 (zero and 255 are reserved). In other words, the first three numbers specify the network number while the last number identifies an individual computer on that network. VMG4380-B10A / VMG4325-B10A User's Guide 153

IP Pool Setup

The Device is pre-configured with a pool of IP addresses for the DHCP clients (DHCP Pool). See the

product specifications in the appendices. Do not assign static IP addresses from the DHCP pool to

your LAN computers.

8.11.3

DNS Server Addresses

DNS (Domain Name System) maps a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa.

The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a

computer before you can access it. The DNS server addresses you enter when you set up DHCP are

passed to the client machines along with the assigned IP address and subnet mask.

There are two ways that an ISP disseminates the DNS server addresses.

•

The ISP tells you the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, when

you sign up. If your ISP gives you DNS server addresses, enter them in the

DNS Server

fields in

the

DHCP Setup

screen.

•

Some ISPs choose to disseminate the DNS server addresses using the DNS server extensions of

IPCP (IP Control Protocol) after the connection is up. If your ISP did not give you explicit DNS

servers, chances are the DNS servers are conveyed through IPCP negotiation. The Device

supports the IPCP DNS server extensions through the DNS proxy feature.

Please note that DNS proxy works only when the ISP uses the IPCP DNS server extensions. It

does not mean you can leave the DNS servers out of the DHCP setup under all circumstances. If

your ISP gives you explicit DNS servers, make sure that you enter their IP addresses in the

DHCP Setup

screen.

8.11.4

LAN TCP/IP

The Device has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses and DNS servers to

systems that support DHCP client capability.

IP Address and Subnet Mask

Similar to the way houses on a street share a common street name, so too do computers on a LAN

share one common network number.

Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If the ISP or your

network administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their instructions in

selecting the IP addresses and the subnet mask.

If the ISP did not explicitly give you an IP network number, then most likely you have a single user

account and the ISP will assign you a dynamic IP address when the connection is established. If this

is the case, it is recommended that you select a network number from 192.168.0.0 to

192.168.255.0 and you must enable the Network Address Translation (NAT) feature of the Device.

The Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) reserved this block of addresses specifically for

private use; please do not use any other number unless you are told otherwise. Let's say you select

192.168.1.0 as the network number; which covers 254 individual addresses, from 192.168.1.1 to

192.168.1.254 (zero and 255 are reserved). In other words, the first three numbers specify the

network number while the last number identifies an individual computer on that network.
