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