Chapter 4 LAN Setup
Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address that is easy to remember, 
for instance, 192.168.1.1, for your Prestige, but make sure that no other device on your 
network is using that IP address.
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your Prestige will 
compute the subnet mask automatically based on the IP address that you entered. You don't 
need to change the subnet mask computed by the Prestige unless you are instructed to do 
otherwise.
4.5.1.1  Private IP Addresses
Every machine on the Internet must have a unique address. If your networks are isolated from 
the Internet, for example, only between your two branch offices, you can assign any IP 
addresses to the hosts without problems. However, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority 
(IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of IP addresses specifically for private 
networks:
• 10.0.0.0     — 10.255.255.255
• 172.16.0.0   — 172.31.255.255
• 192.168.0.0 — 192.168.255.255
You can obtain your IP address from the IANA, from an ISP or it can be assigned from a 
private network. If you belong to a small organization and your Internet access is through an 
ISP, the ISP can provide you with the Internet addresses for your local networks. On the other 
hand, if you are part of a much larger organization, you should consult your network 
administrator for the appropriate IP addresses.
Note:  Regardless of your particular situation, do not create an arbitrary IP address; 
always follow the guidelines above. For more information on address 
assignment, please refer to RFC 1597, Address Allocation for Private Internets 
and RFC 1466, Guidelines for Management of IP Address Space.
4.5.2  RIP Setup
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing information with 
other routers.  The RIP Direction field controls the sending and receiving of RIP packets.  
When set to:
• Both - the Prestige will broadcast its routing table periodically and incorporate the RIP 
information that it receives.
• In Only - the Prestige will not send any RIP packets but will accept all RIP packets 
received.
• Out Only - the Prestige will send out RIP packets but will not accept any RIP packets 
received.
• None - the Prestige will not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets 
received.
