Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

UPnP

 

UPnP supports zero-configuration networking and automatic discovery

 

 

 

 

for many types of networked devices. When enabled, it allows other

 

 

 

 

devices that support UPnP to dynamically join a network, obtain an IP

 

 

 

 

address, convey its capabilities, and learn about the presence and

 

 

 

 

capabilities of other devices. DHCP and DNS service can also be used if

 

 

 

 

available on the network. UPnP also allows supported devices to leave a

 

 

 

 

network automatically without adverse effects to the device or other

 

 

 

 

devices on the network.

 

 

IGMP Snooping

 

IGMP snooping is a feature that allows the layer-2 device (switch) to

 

 

 

 

"listen in" on the IGMP conversation between hosts and routers. By

 

 

 

 

doing so, this device can forwards the multicast packets to the hosts

 

 

 

 

which have joined the multicast group, instead of flooding to all hosts.

 

 

 

 

Standard Mode: Listen and forward

 

 

 

 

Blocking Mode: Listen and block

 

 

DHCP

 

The DHCP server is enabled by default for the Router’s Ethernet LAN

 

 

 

 

interface. DHCP service will supply IP settings to workstations configured

 

 

 

 

to automatically obtain IP settings that are connected to the Router

 

 

 

 

though the Ethernet port. When the Router is used for DHCP it becomes

 

 

 

 

the default gateway for DHCP client connected to it. Keep in mind that if

 

 

 

 

you change the IP address of the Router the range of IP addresses in

 

 

 

 

the pool used for DHCP on the LAN will also be changed. The IP address

 

 

 

 

pool can be up to 253 IP addresses.

 

 

 

 

 

 

To manually configure IP settings on Windows workstations, open the TCP/IP Properties menu and select the “Use the following IP address” option. You will need to supply the IP addres, Subnet mask and Defualt

Note gateway (use IP address of DSL- 2740B) for each workstation. The example here also uses manually configured DNS settings.
