Chapter 6 LAN Setup

74

The Prestige has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses and DNS servers to 
systems that support DHCP client capability.

The LAN parameters of the Prestige are preset in the factory with the following values:

• IP address of 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits)
• DHCP server enabled with 32 client IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33. 

These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If your ISP gives you explicit 
DNS server address(es), read the embedded web configurator help regarding what fields need 
to be configured.

 for this information.

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.

The Version field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the 
Prestige sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving).  RIP-1 is universally supported; 
but RIP-2 carries more information.  RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless 
you have an unusual network topology.

Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M sends the routing data in RIP-2 format; the difference being that 
RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting while RIP-2M uses multicasting.
