DESCRIPTION

DHCP

 

 

 

DHCP

If set to Server, your ZyXEL Device 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 ZyXEL Device 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 /

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

Secondary DNS

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

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 ZyXEL Device 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

RIP (Routing Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing

 

information with other routers. Use this field to control how much routing

 

information the ZyXEL Device sends and receives on the subnet.

 

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

Select which version of IGMP the ZyXEL Device uses to support multicasting on

 

the LAN. Multicast packets are sent to a group of computers on the LAN and are

 

an alternative to unicast packets (packets sent to one computer) and broadcast

 

packets (packets sent to every computer).

 

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

 

establish membership in a multicast group. The ZyXEL Device 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 ZyXEL Device 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 ZyXEL Device’s LAN IP

 

address can connect to the ZyXEL Device or access the Internet through the

 

ZyXEL Device.
