LAN TCP/IP Setup
IP Address. The LAN IP address of the router.
•
IP Subnet Mask. The LAN subnet mask of the router. Combined with the IP address, the
•
IP subnet mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which
have to be reached through a gateway or router.
RIP Direction. Router Information Protocol (RIP) allows a router to exchange routing
•
information with other routers. This setting controls how the router sends and receives
RIP packets. Both is the default setting. With the Both or Out Only setting, the router
broadcasts its routing table periodically. With the Both or In Only setting, the router
incorporates the RIP information that it receives.
RIP Version. This setting controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP
•
packets that the router sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving. By default, the
RIP function is disabled.
RIP-1 is universally supported. It is 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.
Use Router as a DHCP Server
This check box is selected by default so that the router functions as a Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.
Starting IP Address. Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the
•
same subnet as the router.
Ending IP Address. Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the
•
same subnet as the router.
