LAN Setup Screen Settings

. The LAN IP address of the router.

. The LAN subnet mask of the router. Combined with the IP address, the 

IP subnet mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which 
addresses have to be reached through a gateway or router.

. Router Information Protocol (RIP) allows a router to exchange routing 

information with other routers. This setting controls how the router sends and receives 
RIP packets. Both is the default setting. With the Both or Out Only setting, the router 
broadcasts its routing table periodically. With the Both or In Only setting, the router 
incorporates the RIP information that it receives.

. This setting controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP 

packets that the router sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving. By default, the 
RIP function is disabled. 

 is universally supported. It is adequate for most networks, unless you have an 

unusual network setup. 

 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.

This check box is selected by default so that the router functions as a Dynamic Host 
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. 

. Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the 

same subnet as the router.

. Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the 

same subnet as the router.

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 router’s DHCP server. Assign reserved IP 
addresses to servers that require permanent IP settings. 

Use the Router as a DHCP Server

By default, the router acts as a DHCP server. The router assigns IP, DNS server, and default 
gateway addresses to all computers connected to the LAN. The assigned default gateway 
address is the LAN address of the router. The router assigns IP addresses to the attached 
computers from a pool of addresses specified in this screen. Each pool address is tested 
before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN. For most applications, the 
default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are satisfactory.
