Status Overview

This section describes some of the concepts related to the

Status

screens.

3.1.1

DOCSIS

The Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) is a

telecommunications standard that defines the provision of data services) Internet

access) over a traditional cable TV (CATV) network.

Your CGNM/ CGNM-3552 supports DOCSIS version 3.0.

3.1.2

IP Addresses and Subnets

Every computer on the Internet must have a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address.

The IP address works much like a street address, in that it identifies a specific

location to which information is transmitted. No two computers on a network can have

the same IP address.

3.1.2.1

IP Address Format

IP addresses consist of four octets (8-bit numerical values) and are usually

represented in decimal notation, for example

192.168.1.1

. In decimal notation, this

means that each octet has a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of 255.

An IP address carries two basic pieces of information: the “network number” (the

address of the network as a whole, analogous to a street name) and the “host ID”

(analogous to a house number) which identifies the specific computer (or other

network device).

3.1.2.2

IP Address Assignment

IP addresses can come from three places:



The Internet Assigned Numbers Agency (IANA)



Your Internet Service Provider



You (or your network devices)

IANA is responsible for IP address allocation on a global scale, and your ISP assigns

IP addresses to its customers. You should never attempt to define your own IP

addresses on a public network, but you are free to do so on a private network.

In the case of the CGNM/ CGNM-3552:



The public network (Wide Area Network or WAN) is the link between the cable

connector and your Internet Service Provider. Your CGNM/ CGNM-3552’s IP

address on this network is assigned by your service provider.



The private network (in routing mode - see

Routing Mode

on page

6

) is your

Local Area Network (LAN) and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), if

enabled. You are free to assign IP addresses to computers on the LAN and

WLAN manually, or to allow the CGNM/ CGNM-3552 to assign them

automatically via DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). IANA has

reserved the following blocks of IP addresses to be used for private networks

only:

If you assign addresses manually, they must be within the CGNM/ CGNM-

3552’s LAN subnet.

3.1.2.3

Subnets

A subnet (short for sub-network) is, as the name suggests, a separate section of a

network, distinct from the main network of which it is a part. A subnet may contain all

of the computers at one corporate local office, for example, while the main network

includes several offices.

In order to define the extent of a subnet, and to differentiate it from the main network,

a subnet mask is used. This “masks” the part of the IP address that refers to the main

network, leaving the part of the IP address that refers to the sub-network.

Each subnet mask has 32 bits (binary digits), as does each IP address:



A binary value of

1

in the subnet mask indicates that the corresponding bit in the

IP address is part of the main network.



A binary value of

0

in the subnet mask indicates that the corresponding bit in the

IP address is part of the sub-network.

For example, the following table shows the IP address of a computer (

192.168.1.1

)

expressed in decimal and binary (each cell in the table indicates one octet):
