The LAN IP parameters are:

•

IP Address.

This is the LAN IP address of the router.

•

IP Subnet Mask.

This is 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 must be reached

through a gateway or router.

•

RIP Direction.

RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing information with other

routers. The RIP Direction selection controls how the router sends and receives RIP packets.

None is the default.

–

Both or Out Only: The router will broadcast its routing table periodically.

–

Both or In Only: The router will incorporate the RIP information that it receives.

–

None (default): The router 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 router sends.

(It recognizes both formats when receiving.) By default, it is disabled.

–

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. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting.

Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the router while your computer is connected

through the browser, you will be disconnected. You need run ipconfig /release and

ipconfig /renew commands on your computer to reconnect to the router. You might

need to restart your computer for the new IP address setting to take effect.
