N300 Wireless Dual Band ADSL2+ Modem Router DGND3300v2 User Manual

Settings		Description
LAN TCP/IP	IP Address	The LAN IP address of the N300 wireless modem router.
Setup
	IP Subnet Mask	The LAN subnet mask of the N300 wireless modem router.
		Combined with the IP address, the IP subnet mask allows a
		device to know which other addresses are local to it, and
		which must be reached through a gateway or N300 wireless
		modem router.
	RIP Direction	RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows the N300 wireless
		modem router to exchange routing information with other
		routers. This setting controls how the N300 wireless modem
		router sends and receives RIP packets. Both is the default.
		• Both or Out Only. The N300 wireless modem router
		broadcasts its routing table periodically.
		• Both or In Only. The N300 wireless modem router
		incorporates the RIP information that it receives.
		• None. The N300 wireless modem router will not send any
		RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets received.
	RIP Version	This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the
		RIP packets that the N300 wireless modem router sends. It
		recognizes both formats when receiving. By default, this is
		RIP-1.
		• RIP-1 is universally supported. It is adequate for most
		networks, unless you have an unusual network setup.
		• RIP-2 carries 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.
DHCP Server	Use Router as a DHCP	This check box is usually selected so that the N300 wireless
	Server	modem router functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration
		Protocol (DHCP) server. See Using the N300 Wireless
		Modem Router as a DHCP Server on page 114.
	Starting IP Address	Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in
		the same subnet as the N300 wireless modem router.
	Ending IP Address	Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the
		same subnet as the N300 wireless modem router.
Address Reservation		When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on

Using the N300 Wireless Modem Router as a DHCP Server

By default, the N300 wireless modem router functions as a DHCP server, allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the N300 wireless modem router’s LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the N300 wireless modem router. The N300 wireless modem router assigns IP addresses to
