The LAN TCP/IP Setup parameters are explained in the following table.
Table 5-2. LAN IP Setup
Settings
Description
LAN TCP/IP
Setup
IP Address
The LAN IP address of the router.
IP Subnet Mask
The LAN subnet mask of the router. Combined with the IP
address, the IP Subnet Mask allows a device to know which
other addresses are local to it, and which must be reached
through a gateway or router.
RIP Direction
RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows a router to
exchange routing information with other routers. This
setting controls how the router sends and receives RIP
packets. Both is the default.
• Both or Out Only. The router broadcasts its routing table
periodically.
• Both or In Only. The router incorporates the RIP
information that it receives.
• None. The router will not send any RIP packets and will
ignore any RIP packets received.
RIP Version
This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the
RIP packets that the router sends. It recognizes both
formats when receiving. By default, this is RIP-1.
• RIP-1 is universally supported. It is adequate for most
networks, unless you have an unusual network setup.
• RIP-2 carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M
send the routing data in RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses
subnet broadcasting. RIP-2M uses multicasting.
DHCP Server
For more
information, see
.
Use Router as a DHCP
Server
This check box is usually selected so that the router
functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server. See
Starting IP Address
Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in
the same subnet as the router.
Ending IP Address
Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in
the same subnet as the router.
Address Reservation
For more information, see
.
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on
the LAN, that computer receives the same IP address each
time it access the router’s DHCP server. Assign reserved IP
addresses to servers that require permanent IP settings.
