Use The Router As A Dhcp Server - NETGEAR JNR1010 User Manual

RIP Direction. Router Information Protocol (RIP) 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 setting. With the Both or Out Only setting, the router
broadcasts its routing table periodically. With the Both or In Only setting, the router
incorporates the RIP information that it receives.
RIP Version. This setting controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP
•
packets that the router sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving. By default,
the RIP function is disabled.
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.
Use Router as a DHCP Server. This check box is selected by default so that the router
•
functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.
Starting IP Address. Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the
•
same subnet as the router.
Ending IP Address. Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the
•
same subnet as the router.
Address Reservation. When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the
•
LAN, that computer receives the same IP address each time it accesses the router's
DHCP server. Assign reserved IP addresses to servers that require permanent IP
settings.

Use the Router as a DHCP Server

By default, the router acts as a 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. The router assigns IP addresses to the attached
computers from a pool of addresses specified in this screen. Each pool address is tested
before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN. For most applications, the
default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are satisfactory.
You can specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by setting the starting IP address
and ending IP address. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as
the router's LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, define a range between
192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254, although you might want to save part of the range for
devices with fixed addresses.
The router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
An IP address from the range you have defined
•
Subnet mask
•
Gateway IP address (the router's LAN IP address)
