[. . . ] In fact two nested" IP layers exist: the Public IP layer which is carried within the Private IP layer on the local LAN. In case your SP instructs you to use a static IP address for Relayed PPPoA, most dial in applications allow a static IP address to be supplied. Like any other member of a LAN, the STHome must be locally identified by an IP address to be able to communicate with other local LAN devices. This section deals with the IP address configuration of the STHome for local communication only. IP addresses can be assigned to the STHome in several ways. Summarized, following IP address types exist: As the STHome IP layer supports logical multi homing (one interface supporting multiple IP addresses), both statically and dynamically configured IP address(es) can be active at the same time. Click in the left pane of the STHome pages to pop up the 'Initial Setup' page: Enter an IP address in the 'IP Address' field.

For small home LANs it might be worthwhile to configure all of your LAN devices as DHCP clients, and the STHome as the DHCP server. In this configuration each time a computer starts, it will obtain its IP configuration from the STHome. Advanced Client For advanced networks, the role of DHCP server might be performed by an IP node other than the STHome on the local LAN. Click in the left pane of the STHome pages to pop up the 'DHCP' page: Note: This configuration might be required in case you use the Transparent Bridging packet service. Note: This setting might cause side effects with Bridging. One of the STHome features is that it can automatically revert from DHCP client to DHCP server. To allow the STHome to act as Auto DHCP client/server, tick .
