LAN TCP/IP
Setup

IP Address

The LAN IP address of the modem router.

IP Subnet Mask

The LAN subnet mask of the modem 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 modem router.

RIP Direction

RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows a modem router to
exchange routing information with other routers. This
setting controls how the modem router sends and receives
RIP packets. Both is the default.
Both or Out Only. The modem router broadcasts its

routing table periodically.

Both or In Only. The modem router incorporates the RIP

information that it receives.

None. The modem 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 modem 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

information

Use Router as a DHCP
Server

This check box is usually selected so that the modem router
functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server. See

“Using the Modem Router as a DHCP

Server” on page 5-4

.

Starting IP Address

Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in
the same subnet as the modem router.

Ending IP Address

Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in
the same subnet as the modem router.

Address Reservation
For more information, see

“Address

Reservation” on page 5-4

.

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 modem router’s DHCP server. Assign
reserved IP addresses to servers that require permanent IP
settings.
