General Setup Menu

Use the General Setup Menu to configure filter sets for filtering Ethernet traffic. Filter sets can be
used to block certain packets in order to reduce bandwidth or to enhance security. First create the
filter sets using Menu 21. Then apply them by number in this menu. Refer to
"Configuring Filters," for more information about configuring filters.
TCP/IP and DHCP Setup
The router can be configured to act as a DHCP server. It then can assign IP, DNS, and default
gateway addresses to attached PCs or workstations. The assigned default gateway address is the
LAN address of the router, as set in the TCP/IP section. Each pool address is tested before it is
assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.
The router can also be configured to act as a DHCP relay. In this case, the router obtains TCP/IP
configuration information from a remote DHCP server and distributes the information to the PCs
or workstations.
