DESCRIPTION

 

 

DHCP

 

 

 

DHCP

If set to Server, your Prestige can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway

 

and DNS servers to Windows 95, Windows NT and other systems that support

 

the DHCP client.

 

If set to None, the DHCP server will be disabled.

 

If set to Relay, the Prestige acts as a surrogate DHCP server and relays DHCP

 

requests and responses between the remote server and the clients. Enter the IP

 

address of the actual, remote DHCP server in the Remote DHCP Server field in

 

this case.

 

When DHCP is used, the following items need to be set:

 

 

Client IP Pool

This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool.

Starting Address

 

Size of Client IP

This field specifies the size or count of the IP address pool.

Pool

 

Primary DNS Server

Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers. The DNS servers are passed to the

 

DHCP clients along with the IP address and the subnet mask.

Secondary DNS

As above.

Server

 

Remote DHCP

If Relay is selected in the DHCP field above then enter the IP address of the

Server

actual remote DHCP server here.

TCP/IP

 

 

 

IP Address

Enter the IP address of your Prestige in dotted decimal notation, for example,

 

192.168.1.1 (factory default).

IP Subnet Mask

Type the subnet mask assigned to you by your ISP (if given).

 

 

RIP Direction

Select the RIP direction from None, Both, In Only and Out Only.

 

 

RIP Version

Select the RIP version from RIP-1, RIP-2Band RIP-2M.

 

 

Multicast

IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to

 

establish membership in a multicast group. The Prestige supports both IGMP

 

version 1 (IGMP-v1) and IGMP-v2. Select None to disable it.

Any IP Setup

Select the Active checkbox to enable the Any IP feature. This allows a computer

 

to access the Internet without changing the network settings (such as IP address

 

and subnet mask) of the computer, even when the IP addresses of the computer

 

and the Prestige are not in the same subnet.

 

When you disable the Any IP feature, only computers with dynamic IP addresses

 

or static IP addresses in the same subnet as the Prestige’s LAN IP address can

 

connect to the Prestige or access the Internet through the Prestige.
