Table 6-1. LAN Setup
Settings
Description
Device Name
A descriptive name for the modem router, which will be
shown in the Network on Windows Vista and the Network
Explorer on all Windows systems. The
Device Name
field
cannot be blank.
LAN TCP/IP
Setup
IP Address
The LAN IP address of the modem router.
IP Subnet Mask
The LAN subnet mask of the modem router. Combined with
the IP address, the IP Subnet Mask allows a device to know
which other addresses are local to it, and which must be
reached through a gateway or modem router.
RIP Direction
RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows a modem router to
exchange routing information with other routers. This
setting controls how the modem router sends and receives
RIP packets.
Both
is the default.
•
Both
or
Out Only
. The modem router broadcasts its
routing table periodically.
•
Both
or
In Only
. The modem router incorporates the RIP
information that it receives.
•
None
. The modem router will not send any RIP packets
and will ignore any RIP packets received.
RIP Version
This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the
RIP packets that the modem router sends. It recognizes
both formats when receiving. By default, this is
RIP-1
.
• RIP-1 is universally supported. It is adequate for most
networks, unless you have an unusual network setup.
• RIP-2 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.
DHCP Server

information
Use Router as a DHCP
Server

functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server. See
“Using the Modem Router as a DHCP
Server” on page 6-5
