6.
In the IP Subnet Mask field, type the subnet mask of the router.
The IP address and subnet mask identify which addresses are local to a specific device and which must
be reached through a gateway or router.
7.
Router Information Protocol (RIP) allows a router to exchange routing information with other routers.
To change the RIP settings, do the following:
a.
Select the RIP direction:
•
Both. The router broadcasts its routing table periodically and incorporates information that it
receives. This is the default setting.
•
Out Only. The router broadcasts its routing table periodically.
•
In Only. The router incorporates the RIP information that it receives.
b.
Select the RIP version:
•
Disabled. The RIP versions are ignored. This is the default setting.
•
RIP-1. This format is universally supported. It is adequate for most networks, unless you are
using an unusual network setup.
•
RIP-2. This format carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing data in
RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting. RIP-2M uses multicasting.
8.
Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
If you changed the LAN IP address of the router, you are disconnected when this change takes effect.
9.
To reconnect, close your browser, relaunch it, and log in to the router.
Specify the IP Addresses That the Router Assigns
By default, the router functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.The router assigns
IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the LAN. The assigned default
gateway address is the LAN address of the router.
These addresses must be part of the same IP address subnet as the router's LAN IP address. If you changed
the router's LAN IP address (see
addresses must be part of the IP address subnet of the router's new LAN IP address.
If you use the router's default addressing scheme, define a range between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254,
although you can save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.
To specify the pool of IP addresses that the router assigns:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the router network.
2.
Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the router admin user name and password.
