6. Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Support: Used in most
LAN-to-LAN applications. The RIP protocol exchanges routing in-
formation between routers.
7. Domain Name Server (DNS) Proxy: The DNS proxy maintains
a DNS cache, including a mapping table of domain names and IP
addresses. The proxy also remembers DNS query packets sent through
the router and saves them into its own DNS cache. For enhanced
speed, when a DNS query packet enters the router, the proxy searches
its local DNS cache. If matched, the router sends an answer to the
host that sent the DNS query packet. Only umatched DNS queries
require querying a WAN Domain Name Server.
8. Telnet Terminal Server: The Telnet User Interface (TUI) is an
efficient method of configuring and managing routers. It utilizes a
traditional command-line user interface and is mainly for advanced
configuration, management, and troubleshooting.
9. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Client on WAN
Port: In most cable modem environments, the Vigor2200 series
supports a DHCP client on the WAN port. They can automatically
get IP network settings from a cable head-end access server.
10. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server: The
server provides an easy-to-configure function for your local IP net-
work. It can automatically assign IP network configurations for local
PCs, such as IP address, IP netmask, gateway IP address, and Do-
main Name server etc.
11. Built-in Flash ROM: The Flash ROM memory saves the router
firmware and configurations, even after power down.
12. Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) Client Sup-
port: If you are a DSL user, the router has a built-in PPPoE client for
establishing a DSL link connection with the ISP. There is no need to
install a further PPPoE driver on your computers.
