4.4.2.1 Defining the Private IP Address for the DSL Router
In this page, you can change the IP address of the device. The preset IP address is
192.168.1.1. This is the private IP address of the DSL Router, under which the device
can be reached in the local network. It can be freely assigned from the block of
available addresses. The IP address under which the Router can be reached from
outside is assigned by the ISP.
If you want to assign a different IP address to the DSL Router, enter it in the field
•
next to IP address.
Adjust the subnet mask if necessary.
•
It is recommended to use an address from a block that is reserved for private use.
The address block is 192.168.1.1~192.168.255.254.
Note: New settings can only be made after the DSL Router is rebooted. If necessary,
reconfigure the IP address on your PC (including the one that is statically assigned)
so that it matches the new configuration.
4.4.2.2 Enabling IGMP Snooping
Internet Group Management Protocol
IGMP is an Internet protocol that enables an Internet computer to inform neighboring
routers that it is a member of a multicast group. With multicasting, a computer can
send content on the Internet to several other computers that have registered an
interest in the content of the first computer. Multicasting can, for example, be used for
multimedia programs for media streaming to recipients that have set up multicast
group membership.
Note: If IGMP snooping function is enabled, the DSL Router capability improves.
4.4.2.3 Configuring the DHCP Server
The DSL Router has a DHCP server for which the factory setting is active.
Consequently, the IP addresses of the PCs are automatically assigned by the DSL
Router.
