Cisco Systems RV016, RV042G manual Setup, Enabling multiple subnets IPv4 only

Setup	3
Setting Up the Network

After you click Save, a pop-up window displays a reminder that you will need to use the new device IP address to launch the configuration utility. Click OK to close the message and continue with the IP address change, or click Cancel to close the message without applying the changes.

STEP 3 Release and renew the IP address of your PC. You should then receive a new IP address in the new DHCP range for the router.

Notes:

•To release and renew your address in Windows: From the Start menu, open the Network Connections window. Right-click on the connection and choose Disable. Right-click again and enable the connection. To verify, right- click and choose Status. Then click the Support tab to view the assigned IP address.

•By default, the router is a DHCP server that assigns IP addresses dynamically to all connected devices. For example, if you choose 192.168.15.1 as the device IP address, devices will receive IP addresses in the range of 192.168.2.x.

•By default, a Windows PC receives an IP address dynamically.

•If you previously disabled the router’s DHCP server or set a static IP address on the PC, you will need to configure a new static IP address in the new range.

STEP 4 To reconnect to the configuration utility, enter the new device IP address in the address bar of your browser.

Enabling multiple subnets (IPv4 only)

Typically, a Cisco RV0xx Series router is used as an access router, with a single LAN subnet. By default, the firewall is pre-configured to deny LAN access if the source IP address is on a different subnet than the router’s LAN IP address.

However, you can enable multiple subnets to allow this router to work as an edge device that provides Internet connectivity to different subnets in your LAN.

STEP 1 On the IPv4 tab, check the Enable Multiple Subnet box to enable this feature. Uncheck the box to disable this feature.

STEP 2 Click Add/Edit to create or modify the subnets. After you click the button, the Multiple Subnet Management window appears.
