Netopia R5000 User Manual

Go to the System Configuration screen. Select IP Address Serving and press Return. The IP Address Ser ving 
screen will appear.

Follow these steps to configure IP Address Ser ving:

■

If you enabled IP Address Ser ving, then DHCP, BootP clients, Dynamic WAN clients, and MacIP/KIP clients 
(if you have the AppleTalk kit installed) are automatically enabled.

■

Select Number of Client IP Addresses and enter the total number of contiguous IP addresses that the 
Netopia R5000 Series Router will distribute to the client machines on your local area network. Twelve-user 
models are limited to twelve IP addresses.

■

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 want to first figure out which machines are going 
to be allocated specific static IP addresses so that you can determine the pool of IP addresses that you will 
be ser ving addresses from via DHCP, BootP, Dynamic WAN, and/or MacIP.

Example: Your ISP has given your Netopia R5000 Series 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 IP addressing refer to 

). Your address range will be from .137-.143. In this example you would 

enter 192.168.6.138 as the 1st Client Address, since the router itself must have an IP address.

■

To enable DHCP, select Serve DHCP Clients and toggle it to Yes. DHCP ser ving is automatic when IP 
Address Ser ving is enabled.
