DG834G Reference Manual
• RIP Direction
RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows a ADSL modem router to exchange routing
information with other routers. The RIP Direction selection controls how the ADSL Modem
Router sends and receives RIP packets. Both is the default.
— When set to Both or Out Only, the ADSL modem router will broadcast its routing table
periodically.
— When set to Both or In Only, it will incorporate the RIP information that it receives.
— When set to None, it will not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets
received.
• RIP Version
This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the ADSL
modem router sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving. By default, this is set for RIP-
1.
— RIP-1 is universally supported. RIP-1 is probably 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.

DHCP

By default, the ADSL modem router will function as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) server, allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all
computers connected to the ADSL modem router's LAN. The assigned default gateway address is
the LAN address of the router. IP addresses will be assigned to the attached PCs from a pool of
addresses specified in this menu. 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. See
"Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing:" on page A-1
information about how to assign IP addresses for your network.
