DESCRIPTION

 

 

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 the

Second DNS

Prestige's WAN IP address). The field to the right displays the (read-only) DNS

Server

server IP address that the ISP assigns.

Third DNS Server

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.

 

 

LAN TCP/IP

 

 

 

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.
