IP6 Address

(*) There's the IP address on the WAN-side of the modem. (*) There's the IP address on the ISP-side of the modem. (*) You won't see this in a combo (router+modem). If I may nitpick just a bit, everything stated above is correct except that the modem also has a LANside and a WANside, rather than a WANside and an ISPside. (WANside and ISPside would refer to the same interface and are thus redundant.) Actually I made up the term ISPsideIP. The modem would only have a LANside and WANside interface. That terminology is best when the host is directly connected to the host. However, with the router and modem chained together, I wanted to differentiate the WAN-side of the modem as being to the ISP and its LAN-side interface going to the WAN-side of the router. Because of the chaining, I wanted to use terms that more closely represented how the interfaces were connected. Saying "modem's LAN-side interface to the router's WAN-side interface" is not a handy term and better left as a description. Most modem makers have settled on 192.168.100.1 as their hardcoded LANside IP address, Mine uses 10.0.0.1, also an APIPA address. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserved_IP_addresses 10.0.0.0/8 Private network Used for local communications within a private network 192.168.0.0/16 Private network Used for local communications within a private network. My prior modem use 192.168.0.1 and I had shortcuts in my Start menu (in a Network subfolder) to easily connect to my modem. Took me a little bit when that stopped working to do an "ipconfig /all" to see the gateway IP address for my host had changed. I found your cable modem at with pics: https://www.amazon.com/MOTOROLA-Cert.../dp/B019ZY1ZWS The backside has only 1 Ethernet port, so it is usable with only a single intranet host Usually the case, but not strictly true. It used to be more common than it is now, but ISPs can assign a service profile that allows more than one routable IP address to be assigned from the CMTS. Sorry to be confusing. By "host" I meant any downstream device which would include a router (with its internal switch). Didn't seem Ross was at your level of technical detail. |
