I'm currently studying for the Network+ Certification Test, so far I have a good grasp on things but something has got me stumped. I was looking at the settings for my Wireless Router and Modem, the modem is set as a DHCP server, as is the Router. Wouldn't having two DHCP servers cause problems? When I run Ipconfig it shows the default gateway at an address of 192.168.1.1...When I take a look at the modem settings, it shows the Default Gateway with an address of 192.168.254.254.
Two DHCP Servers???
Two Default Gateways???
Could someone please explain this to me. Shouldn't I have one DHCP server and one Default Gateway?.........Possibly these two are provided as backups???
BTW: Everything is working, I was just curious as to why two DHCP Servers and two Default Gateways have been specified.
Thanks,
Mike
