IP Setup 10-11
A static route that is already installed in the IP routing table will be removed if any of the conditions listed above
become true for that static route. However, an enabled static route is automatically reinstalled once the
conditions listed above are no longer true for that static route.

IP address serving
In addition to being a router, the Netopia R6000 Series is also an IP address ser ver. There are four protocols it
can use to distribute IP addresses.
can use to distribute IP addresses.
■
The first, called Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), is widely suppor ted on PC networks, as well
as Apple Macintosh computers using Open Transpor t and computers using the UNIX operating system.
Addresses assigned via DHCP are “leased” or allocated for a shor t period of time; if a lease is not
renewed, the address becomes available for use by another computer. DHCP also allows most of the IP
parameters for a computer to be configured by the DHCP ser ver, simplifying setup of each machine.

■
The second, called BootP (also known as Bootstrap Protocol), is the predecessor to DHCP and allows older
IP hosts to obtain most of the information that a DHCP client would obtain. However, in contrast, BootP
address assignments are “permanent” since there is no lease renewal mechanism in BootP.

The third protocol, called Dynamic WAN, is par t of the PPP/MP suite of wide area protocols used for WAN
connections. It allows remote terminal adapters and NAT-enabled routers to be assigned a temporar y IP
address for the duration of their connection.
connections. It allows remote terminal adapters and NAT-enabled routers to be assigned a temporar y IP
address for the duration of their connection.
■
The four th protocol, called MacIP, is used only for computers on AppleTalk networks. MacIP provides a
protocol translation (or gateway) function between IP and AppleTalk as well as an IP address assignment
mechanism. Like DHCP, MacIP address assignments are normally temporar y, although you can also use
static IP addresses with MacIP.

Since no two hosts can use the same IP address at the same time, make sure that the addresses distributed
by the Netopia R6000 Series and those that are manually configured are not the same. Each method of
distribution must have its own exclusive range of addresses to draw from.
