Select ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup.
The LAN Setup page displays.
5.
In the IP Address field, type the IP address.
6.
In the IP Subnet Mask, type the subnet mask of the cable modem router.
The IP address and subnet mask identifies which addresses are local to a specific device and which
must be reached through a gateway or cable modem router.
7.
Change the RIP settings.
Router Information Protocol (RIP) allows a cable modem router to exchange routing information with
other cable modem routers.
a.
Select the RIP direction:
•
Both. The cable modem router broadcasts its routing table periodically and incorporates
information that it receives.
•
Out Only. The cable modem router broadcasts its routing table periodically.
•
In Only. The cable modem router incorporates the RIP information that it receives.
b.
Select the RIP version:
•
Disabled. This is the default setting.
•
RIP-1. This format is universally supported. It is adequate for most networks, unless you are
using an unusual network setup.
•
RIP-2. This format 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.
8.
Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
If you changed the LAN IP address of the cable modem router, you are disconnected when this change
takes effect.
9.
To reconnect, close your browser, relaunch it, and log in to the cable modem router.
Use the Router as a DHCP Server
By default, the cable modem router acts as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The
cable modem 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 cable modem router.
These addresses must be part of the same IP address subnet as the cable modem router’s LAN IP address.
Using the default addressing scheme, define a range between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254, although
you can save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.
