Field Name
Description
Starting Local Address
Displays the starting address used by the built-in
DHCP server to distribute Private LAN IP
addresses. In the example shown, addresses
between 2 and 9 can be used for devices on your
Private LAN that require fixed IP addresses such
as printers or a device assigned as a DMZ host
Note:
The LAN IP address ending in 1 is reserved
for the internal gateway server. The LAN IP
address ending in 255 is also reserved and should
not be used for CPE devices
Number of CPEs
Enter the maximum number of devices allowed to
connect to the Private LAN.
Note:
The Factory Default is 245. The maximum
number of devices is 253. This is the combined
total of addresses reserved for static IP addresses,
for example, the sum of the IP addresses between
2 and the value entered in the Starting Local
Address field and the value entered in the
Number of CPEs field.
Note:
The sum of the value entered in the Starting
Local Address field and the value entered in the
Number of CPEs field must always be 255 or less.

Reserving IP Addresses
Use the Setup Basic Settings - Fixed CPE IP Assignment page to reserve IP
addresses. This feature allows you to assign a fixed IP address to any device in your
network by setting static IP addresses in your PC or other network device.
These addresses will be removed from the pool of the IP addresses to be used by
your gateway's DHCP server when issuing IP addresses to devices that are
connected to your local network.
Reserving IP addresses is useful in making sure that there are no IP address conflicts
on the network, for example, two devices using the same IP address. Another
example: when using DMZ Host, the IP address for the DMZ Host should always
have the same IP address.
Note:
If you are not familiar with the Fixed CPE IP Assignment procedures detailed
in this section, contact your service provider before you attempt to change any of the
residential gateway default Fixed CPE IP Assignment settings.
Click
Fixed CPE IP Assignment
in the Basic Settings section of the Setup page to
access the Setup Basic Settings - Fixed CPE IP Assignment page.
