IP Address Pools
The IP Address Pools screen allows you to configure a separate IP address ser ving pool for each of up to eight 
configured Ethernet IP subnets:
This screen consists of between two and eight rows of four columns each. There are exactly as many rows as 
there are Ethernet IP subnets configured on the IP Subnets screen.
The Subnet (# host addrs) column is non-selectable and non-editable. It indicates the network address of 
the Ethernet IP subnet for which an address pool is being configured and the number of host addresses 
available on the subnet. The network address is equal to the router’s IP address on the subnet 
bitwise-ANDed with the subnet mask. The host address count is equal to the subnet size minus three, 
since one address is reser ved for the network address, one for the subnet broadcast address, and one for 
the router’s inter face address on the subnet.
You can edit the remaining columns in each row.
The 1st Client Addr and Clients columns allow you to specify the base and extent of the address ser ving 
pool for a par ticular subnet. Entering 0.0.0.0 for the first client address or 0 for the number of clients 
indicates that no addresses will be ser ved from the corresponding Ethernet IP subnet.
The Client Gateway column allows you to specify the default gateway address that will be provided to 
clients ser ved an address from the corresponding pool. The value defaults to the Netopia R7200’s IP 
address on the corresponding subnet (or the Netopia R7200’s default gateway, if that gateway is located 
on the subnet in question). You can override the value by entering any address that is par t of the subnet.
DHCP, BootP, dynamic WAN, and dynamic MacIP clients may receive an address from any one of the 
address ser ving pools configured on this screen. Static MacIP clients are not “ser ved” addresses, but 
must be manually configured with addresses from within the specific range of addresses reser ved for that 
purpose on the MacIP (KIP) For warding Setup screen. See 
.
