Prestige 662HW Series User's Guide
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual clients (computers)
to obtain the TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The
Prestige has built-in DHCP server capability enabled by default. It can assign IP
addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to DHCP clients. The Prestige can now
also act as a surrogate DHCP server (DHCP Relay) where it relays IP address assignment
from the actual real DHCP server to the clients.
• IP Alias
IP Alias allows you to partition a physical network into logical networks over the same
Ethernet interface. The Prestige supports three logical LAN interfaces via its single
physical Ethernet interface with the Prestige itself as the gateway for each LAN network.
• IP Policy Routing (IPPR)
Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the router takes the
shortest path to forward a packet. IP Policy Routing (IPPR) provides a mechanism to
override the default routing behavior and alter the packet forwarding based on the policy
defined by the network administrator.
• PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) link layer protocol.
• Transparent bridging for unsupported network layer protocols.
• RIP I/RIP II
• IGMP Proxy
