IP Interfaces
Lists the active interfaces on the modem, their IP address and subnet mask. eth0 is the local LAN interface. lo0 is
the loopback interface.
Address
Displays the IP interface address.
Subnet Mask
Displays the IP interface subnet address.
Name
Displays the IP interface device name:
•
eth0: local LAN interface.
•
lo0: loopback interface.
•
Main PPP: local WAN interface.
Network Routing Table
Lists the network routes. These can be either routes for directly connected interfaces or static routes. Static routes
have a
delete
button to allow for their removal. Static routes that have not been saved to flash also have a
save
button, which make the static route permanent. The 0.0.0.0 route is the default route; any packet with a
destination not explicitly listed in the route table would be routed using the default route. Each route consists of a
destination IP subnet, mask, gateway, interface, and metric.
Destination
Displays the IP address or subnet of the route.
Subnet Mask
Displays the following:
•
If the route is a network route, Subnet Mask is used to specify the subnet
address.
•
If the route is a host route, then the Host Route check box is used.
Gateway
Displays the IP address of the gateway.
Interface
Displays where to send the packet if it matches this route.
Metric
Displays the RIP metric to be assigned to this route if/when it is advertised using
RIP. The metric is equivalent to the RIP metric 0-15; it is used to differentiate routes
with the same address and mask. Lower metrics are preferred. The RIP column
indicates whether a static route should be advertised via RIP.
Host Routing Table
Lists host routes. A host route is an IP route with a 32-bit mask, indicating a single destination (as opposed to a
subnet, which could match several destinations).
Destination
Displays the IP address or subnet of the Route.
Gateway
Displays the IP address of the gateway.
Interface
Displays the where to send the packet if it matches this route.
Metric
Displays the RIP metric to be assigned to this route if/when it is advertised using
RIP.
Inactive Routes
Lists static routes whose interface is currently not in service.
Inactive Routes
Displays static routes whose interface is currently not in service.
Destination
Displays the IP address or subnet of the Route.
Subnet Mask
Displays the following:
•
If the Route is a network route, Subnet Mask is used to specify the subnet
address.
•
If the Route is a Host route, then the Host Route check box is used.
Gateway
Displays the IP address of the gateway.
Interface
Displays where to send the packet if it matches this route.
Metric
Displays the RIP metric to be assigned to this route if/when it is advertised using
RIP. The metric is equivalent to the RIP metric 0-15; it is used to differentiate routes
with the same address and mask. Lower metrics are preferred. The RIP column
indicates whether a static route should be advertised via RIP.
Add Route
Used to add a new static route in the modem.
Destination Address
Displays the IP address or subnet of the Route.

Subnet Mask/ Host Route
Displays the following:
•
If the Route is a network route, Subnet Mask is used to specify the subnet
address.
•
If the Route is a Host route, then the Host Route check box is used.
Gateway/LAN Gateway
Address
Click this drop-down menu to select the interface to use for sending the packet, if it
matches this route. Only active gateways can be used to create a static route.
Metric
Displays the RIP metric to be assigned to this route if/when it is advertised using
RIP. The metric is equivalent to the RIP metric 0-15; it is used to differentiate routes
with the same address and mask. Lower metrics are preferred. The RIP column
indicates whether a static route should be advertised via RIP.
RIP Config
Click this drop-down menu to select whether or not to advertise the static route,
using RIP. (RIP must also be enabled before the route will be advertised.)
•
NEVER
•
ALWAYS
Save to Modem
If checked, then the route will be made permanent by saving it to flash memory. If
not checked, the route will disappear the next time the modem restarts.
add
Click this button to add a newly created route.
13.4.7
Dynamic DNS
The following screen will appear if you select
Advanced > WAN > Dynamic DNS
from the main menu. Dynamic
DNS allows a dynamic IP address to be aliased to a static hostname. For example, consider a situation where you’re
hosting a server on your modem’s LAN and your modem receives a dynamic WAN IP address from your ISP.
Without Dynamic DNS, if your WAN IP address changes, external users will have no way of knowing what your new
WAN IP address is, and therefore, will not be able to access your server.
To address this situation, a number of companies (dynamic DNS ISPs) offer a service through which you may obtain
a URL hostname for the server that you’re hosting. This hostname is associated with the WAN IP address of your
modem. The modem incorporates an “update client” that monitors for WAN IP address changes. If a change is
detected, the update client notifies the dynamic DNS service provider of your new IP address. The dynamic DNS ISP
then updates your DNS record by associating your new IP address to your hostname. Thus, external users access your
server using your hostname and are unaffected by a change in your IP address.
If you change the settings in this screen, click
save
and then
OK
. If you click
discard
, the screen will return to its
previous settings.

Single Static IP
The following screen will appear if you select
Advanced > Single Static IP
from the main menu. This screen
contains the settings that allow the PPP address received from the network to be propagated to a single LAN device
behind the modem.
Single Static IP (SSI) allows you to select one device on your LAN that will share the WAN assigned IP address. By
doing this, the device with the SSI becomes visible on the Internet. Network Address Translation (NAT) and
Firewall rules do not apply to the device configured for SSI. If you are using Bridge (Routed Bridge) protocol,
Single Static IP
configuration will not be available.
IMPORTANT:
1.
Before you begin this section, configure your PC settings to obtain an IP address from your modem
automatically. If needed, refer to your computer’s Windows help screen for instructions.

2.
If you have previously enabled Public LAN, you will need to disable Public LAN and enable the DHCP for
Private LAN and the Private LAN settings before you configure Single Static IP.
3.
Static NAT and Single Static IP are mutually exclusive features. Static NAT should be disabled (if it has
previously been enabled) before you enable
Single Static IP
. To disable Static NAT, select
Services
from the
Configuration
menu. Next, click the
static NAT
button. Select the device from the
Static NAT Device
drop-
down menu and click
disable
. You can now configure Single Static IP.
WAN IP Address
Displays the PPP IP address that the ISP has assigned the modem.
Selection box
Displays the devices available to share the Single Static IP address the ISP has
assigned the modem. The names listed in the select box will be populated by the
modem’s DHCP server based on DHCP requests. If a device’s name cannot be
determined, the current IP address of the device will be placed in the list.
•
When the feature is enabled, the active machine will be highlighted in the
select box and displayed at the bottom of the screen with the
Disable
button.
•
When the feature is disabled, no device in the select box will be
highlighted, and the
Enable
button will be available.
•
When
User Configured PC
is selected, a local PC must be configured
manually with the WAN IP address as its Ethernet adapter’s IP address.
To enable Single Static IP, select a device that will share your Single Static IP from the options listed in the
selection box, click
Enable
and then
OK
. Your modem will be reset, and the new configuration will take effect.
