Description
The LAN IP address of the wireless modem router.
The LAN subnet mask of the wireless modem router.
Combined with the IP address, the IP Subnet Mask allows a
device to know which other addresses are local to it, and
which must be reached through a gateway or wireless
modem router.
RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows a wireless modem
router to exchange routing information with other routers.
This setting controls how the wireless modem router sends
and receives RIP packets. Both is the default.
Both or Out On ly. The wireless modem router
•
broadcasts its routing table periodically.
Both or In On ly. The wireless modem router
•
incorporates the RIP information that it receives.
None. The wireless modem router will not send any RIP
•
packets and will ignore any RIP packets received.
This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the
RIP packets that the wireless modem router sends. It
recognizes both formats when receiving. By default, this is
RIP-1.
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.
This check box is usually selected so that the wireless
modem router functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) server. See
Wireless Modem Router as a DHCP Server
page 70.
Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in
the same subnet as the wireless modem router.
Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in
the same subnet as the wireless modem router.
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on
Address the LAN, that computer receives the same IP address each
time it access the wireless modem router's DHCP server.
Assign reserved IP addresses to servers that require
permanent IP settings.
