This chapter describes the different features of your router and explains 
how to customise them to meet your network requirements. 

 

Setting up the router in your LAN 

 

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Setup 

The following table lists out the parameters relevant to your LAN setup. 

You can replace the default settings with appropriate values to suit the 
needs of your LAN. 

 

The IP address of your router access point is 

 

by default. 
When the DHCP server of the access point is enabled, this 

LAN <IP address> would be allocated as the Default 
Gateway of the DHCP client unless you set a different 
<DHCP Gateway IP address> 

 

The Network Mask identifies the subnet in which your 
router resides.  
The default network mask is 

.

 

(Optional) As a bridge router, the router does not usually 
communicate with devices on other IP subnets. However, 
the Management Gateway here acts as the equivalent 
of the Default Gateway of a PC, to allow the router to 
communicate with devices on different subnets. 
For instance, if you want to access the router from the 
internet or from the router on the LAN, you can set the IP 

address of the router as the Management Gateway IP. 
The Management Gateway IP address of your router is set 
to Nil by default. 

 

The next two fields (DHCP Start IP Address and DHCP End IP Address) allow you 
to define the range of IP addresses from which the DHCP Server can assign an 
IP address to the LAN. 
DHCP Start IP 
Address 

This is the first IP address that the DHCP server will assign. 
The value you enter should belong to the same subnet as 

your router.  
 
For example if the IP address and network mask of your 
router are 192.168.168.1 and 255.255.255.0 respectively,
