RIP Password
RIP Version 2 supports the use of a password to limit access to routers through the RIP
protocol. If the ISP or other LAN router requires a RIP password, enter the password
here.
DHCP
DHCP Server Settings
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The DHCP section is where you
configure the built-in DHCP Server to assign IP addresses to the computers and other
devices on your local area network (LAN).
Enable DHCP Server
Once your router is properly configured and this option is enabled, the DHCP Server will
manage the IP addresses and other network configuration information for computers and
other devices connected to your Local Area Network. There is no need for you to do this
yourself.
The computers (and other devices) connected to your LAN also need to have their
TCP/IP configuration set to "DHCP" or "Obtain an IP address automatically".
When you set Enable DHCP Server, the following options are displayed.
DHCP IP Address Range
These two IP values (from and to) define a range of IP addresses that the DHCP Server
uses when assigning addresses to computers and devices on your Local Area Network.
Any addresses that are outside of this range are not managed by the DHCP Server;
these could, therefore, be used for manually configured devices or devices that cannot
use DHCP to obtain network address details automatically.
It is possible for a computer or device that is manually configured to have an address that
does reside within this range. In this case the address should be reserved (see DHCP
Reservation below), so that the DHCP Server knows that this specific address can only
be used by a specific computer or device.
Your router, by default, has a static IP address of 192.168.0.1. This means that
addresses 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 can be made available for allocation by the
DHCP Server.
Example:
Your router uses 192.168.0.1 for the IP address. You've assigned a computer that you
want to designate as a Web server with a static IP address of 192.168.0.3. You've
assigned another computer that you want to designate as an FTP server with a static IP
address of 192.168.0.4. Therefore the starting IP address for your DHCP IP address
range needs to be 192.168.0.5 or greater.
