Description
The LAN IP address of the router.
The LAN subnet mask of the router. Combined with the IP
address, the IP Subnet Mask allows a device to know which
other addresses are local to it, and which must be reached
through a gateway or router.
RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows a router to
exchange routing information with other routers. This
setting controls how the router sends and receives RIP
packets. Both is the default.
• Both or Out Only. The router broadcasts its routing table
periodically.
• Both or In Only. The router incorporates the RIP
information that it receives.
• None. The router will not send any RIP packets and will
ignore any RIP packets received.
This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the
RIP packets that the router sends. It recognizes both
formats when receiving. By default, this is RIP-1.
• RIP-1 is universally supported. It is adequate for most
networks, unless you have an unusual network setup.
• RIP-2 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.
This check box is usually selected so that the router
functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server. See
Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in
the same subnet as the router.
Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in
the same subnet as the router.
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on
"DHCP Settings" on the LAN, that computer receives the same IP address each
time it access the router's DHCP server. Assign reserved IP
addresses to servers that require permanent IP settings.
