Configuring the LAN and WAN

For the LAN and WAN RIP Direction, select the direction you want RIP (Routing Information Protocol) activated in Routing mode. See “Routing” on page 71 for more information on RIP.

For the LAN and WAN RIP Version, select the version of RIP used for intergateway transmissions in Routing mode. See “Routing” on page 71 for more information on RIP.

Enter the LAN Default Gateway Address (IP address) for the modem to access other LAN segments or IP addresses not in its routing table.

Enter the LAN Default Gateway Mask (subnet IP mask) for the modem to access other LAN segments or IP addresses not in its routing table.

5Enter the DHCP configuration parameters:

DHCP can be enabled only when routing is enabled. If you select DHCP Enable when routing is not enabled, the modem deselects DHCP Enable when you click Submit. If you disable routing, the modem deselects DHCP Enable when you click Submit.

:

Select DHCP Enable to enable the modem to act as a DHCP server to automatically assign IP addresses to devices on the LAN. If you select DHCP, ensure that all devices on the LAN have the TCP/IP stack set to obtain an IP address automatically (see “Setting Up the PC to Access the Modem Web Pages” on page 27).

The modem automatically enters the Start IP Address for the first device on the LAN as one address higher than the Ethernet port on the modem with DHCP enabled. You cannot edit this field.

Enter an IP address for a device that will provide Primary DNS. DNS translates human-readable machine names into IP addresses.

Enter an IP address for a device that will provide Secondary DNS. DNS translates human-readable machine names into IP addresses (optional).

The modem enters a default Gateway IP address, which is the same IP address as the Ethernet 10/100BASE-T port of the modem. You can edit this field.

6Click Submit to accept the Brouter LAN-WAN configuration.

7Some parameter changes are not permanent until you write them to NVRAM and do not take effect until you reset the modem. See “Saving the Configuration and

Effecting Changes” on page 36.
