Parameters | Default | Description |
LAN |
|
|
IP address | 192.168.2.1 | This is the router’s LAN port (private) IP address (Your LAN clients’ |
|
| default gateway IP address) |
IP Subnet Mask | 255.255.255.0 | Specifies a Subnet Mask for your LAN segment |
802.1d Spanning | Disabled | If the 802.1d Spanning Tree function is enabled, this router will use the |
Tree |
| spanning tree protocol to prevent network loops from occurring among |
|
| the LAN ports. |
DHCP Server | Enabled | You can enable or disable the DHCP server. By enabling the DHCP |
|
| server, the router will automatically give your LAN clients an IP address. |
|
| If the DHCP is not enabled then you’ll have to manually set your LAN |
|
| clients’ IP addresses; make sure the LAN Client is in the same subnet as |
|
| the router if you want the router to be your LAN clients’ default gateway |
Lease Time |
| When DHCP is enabled, it will temporarily give your LAN clients an IP |
|
| address. In the Lease Time setting you can specify the time period that |
|
| the DHCP lends an IP address to your LAN clients. The DHCP will |
|
| change your LAN client’s IP address when this time threshold period is |
|
| reached |
IP Address Pool |
| You can select a particular IP address range for your DHCP server to |
|
| issue IP addresses to your LAN Clients. |
|
| Note: By default the IP range is from: Start IP 192.168.2.100 to End IP |
|
| 192.168.2.199. If you want your PC to have a static/fixed IP address then |
|
| you’ll have to choose an IP address outside this IP address Pool |
Domain Name |
| You can specify a Domain Name for your LAN |
