IP Subnet Mask. The LAN subnet mask of the modem router. By default the IP subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Combined with the IP address, the IP subnet mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which addresses need to be reached through a gateway or router.

RIP Direction. Router Information Protocol (RIP) allows the modem router to exchange routing information with other routers. This setting controls how the modem router sends and receives RIP packets. Both is the default setting. With the Both or Out Only setting, the modem router broadcasts its routing table periodically. With the Both or In Only setting, the modem router incorporates the RIP information that it receives.

RIP Version. This setting controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the modem router sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving. By default, the RIP function is disabled.

-RIP-1is universally supported. It is adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network setup.

-RIP-2carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing data in RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting. RIP-2M uses multicasting.

Use Router as DHCP Server

By default, the Use Router as DHCP Server check box is selected so that the modem router functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.

Starting IP Address. Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the same subnet as the modem router. By default, the starting IP address is 192.168.0.2.

Ending IP Address. Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the same subnet as the modem router. By default, the ending IP address is 192.168.0.254.

For more information, see Specify DHCP Server Settings on page 49.

Address Reservation

When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer receives the same IP address each time it accesses the modem router’s DHCP server. Assign reserved IP addresses to servers that require permanent IP settings.
