Table 13 LAN IP

LABEL	DESCRIPTION
DHCP
DHCP Server	Enable the DHCP server to have the Prestige assign IP addresses, an IP default
	gateway and DNS servers to Windows 95, Windows NT and other systems that
	support the DHCP client.
	When DHCP is used, the following items need to be set:
IP Pool Starting	This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool.
Address
Pool Size	This field specifies the size or count of the IP address pool.

DNS Servers Assigned by DHCP Server

The Prestige passes a DNS (Domain Name System) server IP address (in the order you specify here) to the DHCP clients. The Prestige only passes this information to the LAN DHCP clients when you select the DHCP Server check box. When you clear the DHCP Server check box, DHCP service is disabled and you must have another DHCP sever on your LAN, or else the computers must have their DNS server addresses manually configured.

First DNS Server	Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information (and
Second DNS Server	the Prestige's WAN IP address). The field to the right displays the (read-only)
Third DNS Server	DNS server IP address that the ISP assigns.
	Select User-Definedif you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS
	server's IP address in the field to the right. If you chose User-Defined, but leave
	the IP address set to 0.0.0.0, User-Definedchanges to None after you click
	Apply. If you set a second choice to User-Defined, and enter the same IP
	address, the second User-Definedchanges to None after you click Apply.
	Select DNS Relay to have the Prestige act as a DNS proxy. The Prestige's LAN
	IP address displays in the field to the right (read-only). The Prestige tells the
	DHCP clients on the LAN that the Prestige itself is the DNS server. When a
	computer on the LAN sends a DNS query to the Prestige, the Prestige forwards
	the query to the Prestige's system DNS server (configured in the SYSTEM
	General screen) and relays the response back to the computer. You can only
	select DNS Relay for one of the three servers; if you select DNS Relay for a
	second or third DNS server, that choice changes to None after you click Apply.
	Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not configure
	a DNS server, you must know the IP address of a computer in order to access it.
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	The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your
	Prestige automatically calculates the subnet mask based on the IP address that
	you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet mask
	computed by the Prestige.
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.
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.
