Configuring the DSL Router
IP Options Processing
The NAT and NAPT functions handle and process the IP datagrams with options set as described below. No command is available to set IP options.
The DSL Router does not process (and drops) any IP datagrams with the following IP options:
HLoose source and record route (type 131)
HStrict source and record route (type 133)
HSecurity (type 130)
HStream ID (type 136)
The DSL Router does process IP datagrams with the following IP options, but does not provide its IP address or timestamp information in the response message:
HRecord route (type 7)
HTimestamp (type 68)
Applications Supported by NAT
The DSL routers support the following applications and protocols:
HFTP
HHTTP
HNetMeeting
HPing
HRealPlayer
HTelnet
HTFTP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server
The DSL router provides a DHCP Server feature as specified in RFC 2131, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, and RFC 2132, DHCP Option and BOOTP Vendor Extensions. DHCP is the protocol used for automatic IP address assignment.
DHCP setup considerations:
HThe range of IP addresses to be used by the DHCP server must be configured. The maximum number of clients is 256.
HThe DHCP server must be enabled.
