RangeMax Wireless-N DSL Gigabit Modem Router DGN3500 User Manual
Advanced Configuration 5-9
v1.0, November 2009
The LAN Setup fields are explained in the following table.
Table 5-3. LAN Setup
Settings Description
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
For more
information
Use Router as a DHCP
Server
This check box is usually selected so that the modem router
functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server. See “Using the Wireless Modem Router as
a DHCP Server” on page 5-6.
Starting IP Address Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in
the same subnet as the modem router.
Ending IP Address Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in
the same subnet as the modem router.
Address Reservation
For more information, see “Address
Reservation” on page 5-6.
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on
the LAN, that computer receives the same IP address each
time it access the modem router’s DHCP server. Assign
reserved IP addresses to servers that require permanent IP
settings.
