WF200 802.11g Wireless Router

5.2 LAN

There are the IP settings of the LAN Interface for the device. These settings may be referred to as

Private settings. You may change the LAN IP address if needed. The LAN IP address is provided to

your internal network and cannot be seen on the Internet.

5.2.1 Router Local IP

IP Address: Enter the IP address of your ADSL router in dotted decimal notation, for example,

192.168.1.1 (default setting).

IP Subnet Mask: Your ADSL router will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP

address that you assign. Unless you are implementing sub netting, use the subnet mask computed

by the ADSL router.

Dynamic Route: Select the Dynamic Route from RIP1, RIP2-B, and RIP2-M. Please refer to

InternetÆ Dynamic Route. The only difference is the interface.

Multicast: Select the multicast protocol you wish to use from the dropdown list.

IGMP Snoop: You can disable and enable IGMP Snoop function.

5.2.2 Explaining RIP Setup

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

other routers. The RIP Direction field controls how RIP packets are allowed to enter and leave the

router. Selecting Both means the router will broadcast its routing table and incorporate the RIP

information that it receives. Selecting In Only means the router will only accept RIP packets

received, not send RIP packets. Selecting Out Only means the router will only send RIP packets, not

accept any RIP packets received. Selecting None means the router will not send any RIP packets nor

will it accept any RIP packets received.TheDynamic Route field controls the format and the

broadcasting method of RIP packets that the router sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving

packets. RIP-1 is universally supported, but RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-1 is adequate for

most networks. Only consider RIP-2 if your network has unusual topology.Both RIP-2B and

RIP-2M sends the routing data in RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting while RIP-2M

uses multicasting.
