IP Address
LAN Configuration allows you to define the public/private IP address over the LAN interface.
Primary IP Address:
Private IP address is used for the purpose of system management. When it is assigned, PC on
the LAN is able to use the specified address to access this ADSL Router through Ethernet.
By default, the IP address and subnet mask is
192.168.1.1
and
255.255.255.0
respectively. This
will give you an available range of IP addresses from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254 that can be
assigned to PCs on the LAN.
Secondary IP Address:
If you applied for multiple IP address from your ISP, you will have a range of IP address for
the ADSL Router and other network devices on the LAN. You can fill in the IP address
assigned by ISP in the public IP address field.
DHCP Server
This page allows you to enable DHCP server on LAN interface and then your router can assign IP addresses to those
PCs connected to your router.
The ADSL Router implements a built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, which dynamically
assigns IP addresses and DNS server to the PCs on the LAN. DHCP function spares you the hassle of manually
assigning a fixed IP address to each PC on the LAN. It is probably you already have a DHCP server on your network
and you do not enable this function. By default the DHCP Server is enabled on private LAN interface (192.168.1.0).
DHCP lease time
: Specify the time that a network device can lease a private IP address before the ADSL Router
reassigning the IP address.
Default Gateway:
You check the
Report this host as the default gateway
box to use this host as the default
gateway or fill in an IP address as the default gateway.
Domain Name Servers
: You can check the
Report this host as the DNS server
box to use this host as the default
DNS. Or you can uncheck the box and manually set up the DNS IP address in the
Primary/Secondary DNS IP address
fields. The DNS server addresses will be passed to the
DHCP clients along with the IP addresses. The DHCP clients use the DNS to map a domain
name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa.
