N300 Wireless Dual Band ADSL2+ Modem Router DGND3300v2
Use the N300 Wireless Modem Router as a DHCP Server
By default, the N300 wireless modem router functions as a DHCP server, allowing it to assign
IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the N300
wireless modem router’s LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of
the N300 wireless modem router. The N300 wireless modem router assigns IP addresses to
LAN TCP/IP
Setup
IP Address The LAN IP address of the N300 wireless modem router.
IP Subnet Mask The LAN subnet mask of the N300 wireless 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 needs to be reached through a gateway or N300
wireless modem router.
RIP Direction RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows the N300 wireless
mode
m router to exchange routing information with other
routers. This setting controls how the N300 wireless modem
router sends and receives RIP packets. Both is the default.
• Both or Ou
t Only. The N300 wireless modem router
broadcasts its routing table periodically.
• Both or In
Only. The N300 wireless modem router
incorporates the RIP information that it receives.
• None
. The N300 wireless 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 N300 wireless modem router sends. It
recognizes both formats when receiving. By default, this is
RIP-1.
• RIP-1 is universally supporte
d. 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 Use Router as a DHCP
Server
This check box is usually selected so that the N300 wireless
mode
m router functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) server. See Use the N300 Wireless Modem
Router as a DHCP Server on p
age 112.
Starting IP Address Specify the start of the range for the poo
l of IP addresses in
the same subnet as the N300 wireless modem router.
Ending IP Address Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the
sa
me subnet as the N300 wireless modem router.
Address Reservation
For more information, see Address Reservation
on page 113.
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on
the LAN, that computer receives the same IP address each
time it accesses the N300 wireless modem router’s DHCP
server. Assign reserved IP addresses to servers that require
permanent IP settings.
