| LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
|
|
|
| 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 |
| Third DNS Server | DNS server IP address that the ISP assigns. |
| Select | |
|
| |
|
| server's IP address in the field to the right. If you chose |
|
| the IP address set to 0.0.0.0, |
|
| Apply. If you set a second choice to |
|
| address, the second |
|
| 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 |
|
| 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. |

|
|
| IP Address | Type the IP address of your Prestige in dotted decimal notation 192.168.1.1 |
|
| (factory default). |
| IP Subnet Mask | The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your |
|
| Prestige will 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 255.255.255.0. |
| RIP Direction | RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC1058 and RFC 1389) allows a router to |
|
| exchange routing information with other routers. The RIP Direction field controls |
|
| the sending and receiving of RIP packets. Select the RIP direction from Both/In |
|
| Only/Out Only/None. When set to Both or Out Only, the Prestige will broadcast |
|
| its routing table periodically. When set to Both or In Only, it will incorporate the |
|
| RIP information that it receives; when set to None, it will not send any RIP |
|
| packets and will ignore any RIP packets received. Both is the default. |
| RIP Version | The RIP Version field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the |
|
| RIP packets that the Prestige sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving). |

|
| RIP packets. However, if one router uses multicasting, then all routers on your |
|
| network must use multicasting, also. By default, RIP direction is set to Both and |

|
| like to read more detailed information about interoperability between IGMP |
|
| version 2 and version 1, please see sections 4 and 5 of RFC 2236. |
