Configuring Network Settings
This section contains details for configuring network-related information. The network settings options are
listed below.
RIP
Activate and control RIP functionality. Using RIP, the Router is able to determine the
shortest distance between two points on the network based on the addresses of the
originating devices.
Port Forwarding
Control WAN-side access to LAN-side servers through private IP addressing.
UPnP
Configure and control UPnP interoperability and security.
Bridge Mode
Configure the Router as a true WAN/LAN bridge.
Server Ports
Specify server ports used by common applications such as HTTP (Web site traffic), FTP,
and Telnet.
Dynamic DNS
Set up Dynamic DNS. Dynamic DNS translates IP addresses into alphanumeric names.
For example, an IP address of 333.136.249.80 could be translated into siemens.com.
