Table7-5. Menu 3.2 - TCP/IP and DHCP Setup Fields
Field Description
DHCP: Ifs et to Server,the router acts as a DHCP s erver.
Ifs ett oNone, the router ’s DHCP server is disabled.
DHCP Configuration:
ClientIP Pool Starting
Address Thisfield is the beginning of the range of addresses to assign.
Sizeof Client IP Pool Thisfield is the number of sequential addresses available for
assignment to attached hosts. The maximum is 32.
PrimaryDNS Server Ifyou want the router to provide the Primary DNS Server address to
attachedhosts, enter the DNS address in this field. If this field is 0.0.0.0,
therouter assigns its own address as DNS Server, and performs a DNS
Proxyif it can obtain a DNS address from the ISP.
SecondaryDNS Server Ifyou want the router to assign the Secondary DNS Server address
toattached hosts, enter the address in this field.
TCP/IPSetup:
IP Address Enter the IP address of the LAN interface of the rou ter in dotted-decimal
notation(four 8-bit numbers, between 0 and 255, separated by periods,
forexample, 192.168.0.1). Every device on the TCP/IP network must
havea unique IP address.
IPSubnet Mask AnIP address consists of two parts, the network ID and the host ID. The
IPSubnet Mask specifies the network ID portion of the address, written
indotted-decimal notation. The router automatically calculatesthis mask
forthe class of the IP address that you assign. Unless you have a
specialneed for subnetting, use the default subnet mask calculatedby
the router. All hosts on the LAN segment should use the same mask.
RIPDirection Thisparameter determines how the router handles RIP (Routing
InformationProtocol). RIP allows the router to exchange routing
informationwith other routers. If set to None (default), the router does
notparticipate in any RIP exchange with other routers. If set to Both, the
routerbroadcasts the routing table of the router on the LAN and
incorporatesRIP broadcasts by other routers into its routing table. If set
toIn Only, the router broadcasts its routing table onthe LAN. If set to
OutOnly, the router broadcasts its routing table, but it ignores any RIP
broadcastpackets that it receives. Usually, you should leave this
parameterat the default (None).
