Where to find my home network ip range
Hi. Brand new owner of the C7000v2 and this is my first question so I apologize if it has already been asked. I use the Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite and have the ability to whitelist an ip ra...
Thank you for replying Antinode. OK, so the graphic on page 64 of my manual is for "LAN Setup" and it shows a "Starting IP address" of 192.168.0.10 and a "Ending IP Address" of 192.168.0.254. I realize that this is just an example but that would be my range when I bring up my actual numbers? Trying to learn more about networking. Thanks again.

Your LAN would occupy the whole range, "192.168.0.0" -
"192.168.0.255", but parts of that (".0" and ".255") are
special-purpose, so unavailable, and the router itself uses ".1".
Typically, that range would be specified as '"192.168.0.0" with a
"Subnet Mask" (aka, "netmask") of "255.255.255.0"', sometimes written in
a more compact format, "192.168.0.0/24".
The "Starting" and "Ending" addresses there apply to the DHCP server,
which could be much more restricted. Your LAN address range is defined
by the router's own address and that "Subnet Mask".
I know nothing about your "Zone Alarm" stuff, so exactly how you'd
"enter [that] into ZA". I don't know.
