|
| Dynamic routing allows routing tables in routers to change as |
|
| Dynamic Route |
| the possible routes change. This router supports RIP1, RIP2- |
|
|
| B and | |
|
|
|
| protocol is selected, please choose the RIP direction from |
|
|
|
| “None”, “Both”, “IN Only” or “OUT Only”. |
|
| Multicast |
| Specify the method of transmitting data simultaneously to |
|
|
| many receivers. Please select “IGMP v1” or “IGMP v2” as the | |
|
|
|
| multicast protocol or select “Disabled” to disable the function. |
|
|
|
| When “IGMP Snoop” (Internet Group Management Protocol |
|
|
|
| Snoop) is enabled, the router can make intelligent multicast |
|
| IGMP Snoop |
| forwarding decisions by examining the contents of each |
|
|
| frame’s IP header. Without the function, the router will | |
|
|
|
| broadcast the multicast packets to each port and may create |
|
|
|
| excessive traffic on the network and degrade the performance |
|
|
|
| of the network. |
DHCP |

|
| Parameter |
| Description |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Users can enable or disable the DHCP server. By enabling |
|
| DHCP |
| the DHCP server the router will automatically give LAN clients |
|
|
| an IP address. If the DHCP is not enabled then you’ll have to | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| manually set your LAN client’s IP addresses. |
|
|
|
| If the DHCP Server is enabled, please set the “Starting IP |
|
| Starting IP Address |
| Address” which will be the first IP Address assigned to the |
|
|
| LAN client. By default, the “Starting IP Address” is | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| 192.168.2.100. | |
|
|
|
| Users can select a particular IP address range for your DHCP |
|
| IP Pool Count |
| server to issue IP addresses to your LAN Clients. |
|
|
| By default, the “IP Pool Count” is 100. The IP range is starting | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| from IP 192.168.2.100 to 192.168.2.199. |
|
|
|
| In the Lease Time setting you can specify the time period that |
|
| Lease Time |
| the DHCP Server lends an IP address to your LAN clients. |
|
|
| The DHCP will change the LAN client’s IP address when this | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| time threshold period is terminated. |
|
|
|
| A Domain Name System (DNS) server is like an index of IP |
|
|
|
| addresses and Web addresses. If users type a Web address |
|
|
|
| into your browser, such as “www.router.com”, a DNS server |
|
| DNS Relay |
| will find that name in its index and the matching IP address. |
|
|
| Please select “Use Auto Discovered DNS Server Only” to | |
|
|
|
| auto set the DNS Server. If there is a DNS server that you |
|
|
|
| would rather use, please select “Use Discovered DNS Server |
|
|
|
| Only” and you need to specify the IP address of that DNS |
|
|
|
| server. |
|
| Primary DNS Server |
| Enter the ISP’s DNS Server IP Address; or user can specify |
|
|
| preferred DNS Server IP Address. | |
|
|
|
| |
|
| Secondary DNS |
| This is optional. Users can enter another DNS Server’s IP |
|
|
| Address as a backup. The secondary DNS will be used if the | |
|
| Server |
| |
|
|
| Primary DNS fail. | |
