Disable deactivates the RIP protocol. It will lead to a stoppage
of the exchange of routing information between routers.

the 1st subnet with neighboring routers.
2nd Subnet - Select the router to change the RIP information of
the 2nd subnet with neighboring routers.
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The
router by factory default acts a DHCP server for your network so
it automatically dispatch related IP settings to any local user
configured as a DHCP client. It is highly recommended that you
leave the router enabled as a DHCP server if you do not have a
DHCP server for your network.
If you want to use another DHCP server in the network other
than the Vigor Router's, you can let Relay Agent help you to
redirect the DHCP request to the specified location.
Enable Server - Let the router assign IP address to every host in
the LAN.
Disable Server – Let you manually assign IP address to every
host in the LAN.
Relay Agent –Specify which subnet that DHCP server is located
the relay agent should redirect the DHCP request to.
Start IP Address - Enter a value of the IP address pool for the
DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. If the 1st
IP address of your router is 192.168.1.1, the starting IP address
must be 192.168.1.2 or greater, but smaller than 192.168.1.254.
IP Pool Counts - Enter the maximum number of PCs that you
want the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to. The default is
50 and the maximum is 253.
Gateway IP Address - Enter a value of the gateway IP address
for the DHCP server. The value is usually as same as the 1st IP
address of the router, which means the router is the default
gateway.
DHCP Server IP Address for Relay Agent - Set the IP address
of the DHCP server you are going to use so the Relay Agent can
help to forward the DHCP request to the DHCP server.
DNS stands for Domain Name System. Every Internet host must
have a unique IP address, also they may have a human-friendly,
easy to remember name such as www.yahoo.com. The DNS
server converts the user-friendly name into its equivalent IP
address.
Force DNS manual setting - Force Vigor router to use DNS
servers in this page instead of DNS servers given by the Internet
