6.1.3 Interior Gateway Protocols
Interior protocols are used for routing networks that are under a common network administration. All IP
interior gateway protocols must be associated with specified network on startup (such as configuring
network). Each routing process listens to updating messages from other routers, and broadcasts its
own routing information on the network. The interior routing protocols D-Link supports are as follows:
♦ RIP
♦ OSPF
♦ BEIGRP
6.1.4 Exterior Gateway Protocols
Exterior protocols are used to exchange routing information between different autonomous systems. IP
exterior gateway protocols normally request configuring the neighbor routers with which to exchange
routing information, networks that advertised as directly reachable and the local autonomous system
number. D-Link router supports BGP as exterior gateway protocol.
6.2 Configure IP Addressing
6.2.1 IP Addressing
A basic and necessary task for IP configuration is to assign IP addresses to network interfaces, only
with which you can enable an interface and make it have the ability of communicating with other
systems by using IP. At one time you should specify the mask IP address.
To configure IP, you should complete tasks in the following sections, the first one is necessary and
others are optional.
At the end of this chapter, the examples in the "IP Addressing Example" section illustrate how to set IP
addressing.
1. Assign an IP Addresses to a Network Interface
An IP address identifies the destination an IP datagram can reach. Some IP addresses are reserved for
special uses and cannot be used for host, subnet, or network addresses. Table 1 lists the range of IP
addresses, reserved addresses and available addresses for use.

You can get official description of IP addresses in RFC 1166, "Internet Numbers." And you can contact
Internet service provider to achieve an available network address.
An interface can only have one primary IP address. To configure a primary IP address and a network
mask to a network interface, you can select IP option in the argument prompt of interface configuration
and list all arguments:
Model Name
Address or range
0.0.0.0
1.0.0.0 to 126.0.0.0
127.0.0.0
128.0.0.0 to 191.254.0.0
191.255.0.0
192.0.0.0
192.0.1.0 to 223.255.254
223.255.255.0
224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255
240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.254
255.255.255.255
