DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

Primary IP Address

 

 

 

IP Address

 

Type the IP address of your Prestige in dotted decimal notation. 192.168.1.1 is the

 

 

factory default.

IP Subnet Mask

 

The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your

 

 

Prestige automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP address that you

 

 

assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet mask computed

 

 

by the Prestige.

RIP

 

The RIP field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets

 

 

that the Prestige sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving).

 

 

Select RIP v1 if you are unsure what RIP version other Ethernet device(s)

 

 

supports. RIP v1 is universally supported.

 

 

Select RIP v2 to send detailed routing data.

 

 

Select RIP v2 Multicast to set the Prestige to send routing data in RIP-2 format

 

 

using multicasting.

Secondary IP Address

You can assign a different IP address (in the same subnet as the primary IP address) to the LAN interface.

IP Address

Type the secondary IP address of your Prestige in dotted decimal notation.

 

Note: Make sure this IP address is in the same subnet as the

 

primary IP address above.

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes back to the Prestige.

3.4 Ethernet Client Filter
