Prestige 641 ADSL Internet Access Router

Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address that is easy to remember, e.g., 192.168.1.1, for your Prestige.

The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your Prestige will compute the subnet mask automatically based on the IP address that you entered. You don’t need to change the subnet mask computed by the Prestige unless you are instructed to do otherwise.

3.2.2 RIP Setup

RIP (Routing Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing information with other routers. The RIP Direction field controls the sending and receiving of RIP packets. When set to both, the Prestige will broadcast its routing table periodically and incorporate the RIP information that it receives; when set to none, it will not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets received.

The Version field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the Prestige sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving). RIP-1is universally supported; but RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you have a unusual network topology.

Both RIP-2Band RIP-2Msends the routing data in RIP-2 format; the difference being that RIP-2Buses subnet broadcasting while RIP-2Muses multicasting. Multicasting can reduce the load on non-router machines since they generally do not listen to the RIP multicast address and so will not receive the RIP packets. However, if one router uses multicasting, then all routers on your network must use multicasting, also.

By default, RIP direction is set to Both and the Version set to RIP-1.

3.2.3 DHCP Configuration

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual clients (workstations) to obtain the TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The Prestige has built-in DHCP server capability, enabled by default, which means it can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to Windows 95, Windows NT and other systems that support the DHCP client. The Prestige can also act as a surrogate DHCP server where it relays IP address assignment from the actual DHCP server to the clients.

IP Pool Setup

The Prestige is pre-configured with a pool of 32 IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33 to 192.168.1.64 for the client machines. This leaves 31 IP addresses, 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.32 (excluding the Prestige itself which has a default IP of 192.168.1.1) for other server machines, e.g., server for mail, FTP, telnet, web, etc., that you may have.

DNS Server Address

DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa, e.g., the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a machine before you can access it. The DNS server addresses
