Glossary This chapter presents a more detailed description of the Broadband Home Router’s configuration parameters. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) When operates as a DHCP server, the Broadband Home Router assign IP addresses to the client PCs on the LAN. The client PCs “leases” these Private IP addresses for a user-defined amount of time. After the lease time expires, the private IP address is made available for assigning to other network devices.
Glossary destination. It is used on the Internet and is common in the NetWare environment. It exchanges routing information with other routers. It includes V1, V2 and V1&V2, which controls the sending and receiving of RIP packets over Ethernet. Virtual Server You can designate virtual servers, e.g., a FTP, web, telnet or mail server, on your local network and make them accessible to the outside world.
Troubleshooting If the suggested solutions in this section do not resolve your issue, contact your system administrator or Internet service provider. Problems with LAN On Ethernet client 1.
