Router Advertisement

Server

Enable

– Click it to enable the router advertisement

daemon. The router advertisement daemon (radvd) sends

Router Advertisement messages, specified by RFC 2461, to

a local Ethernet LAN periodically and when requested by a

node sending a Router Solicitation message. These

messages are required for IPv6 stateless auto-configuration.

Disable

– Click it to disable RADVD server.

Advertisement Lifetime

- The lifetime associated with the

default router in units of seconds. It's used to control the

lifetime of the prefix. The maximum value corresponds to

18.2 hours. A lifetime of 0 indicates that the router is not a

default router and should not appear on the default router

list.

DHCPv6 Server

Configuration

Enable Server

–Click it to enable DHCPv6 server.

DHCPv6 Server could assign IPv6 address to PC according

to the Start/End IPv6 address configuration.

Disable Server

and end address for IPv6 server.

DNS Server IPv6 Address

Primary DNS Sever

– Type the IPv6 address for Primary

DNS server.

Secondary DNS Server

–Type another IPv6 address for

DNS server if required.

Static IPv6 Address

configuration

IPv6 Address

–Type static IPv6 address for LAN.

Prefix Length –

Type the fixed value for prefix length.

Available settings are explained as follows:

Item

Description

Network Configuration

Enable/Disable -

Click

Enable

to enable such

configuration; click

Disable

to disable such configuration.

For NAT Usage -

Click this radio button to invoke NAT

function.

For Routing Usage -

Click this radio button to invoke this

function.

IP Address -

Type in private IP address for connecting to a

local private network (Default: 192.168.1.1).

Subnet Mask -

Type in an address code that determines the

size of the network. (Default: 255.255.255.0/ 24)

DHCP Server

Configuration

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.

The router by factory default acts a DHCP server for your

network so it automatically dispatch related IP settings to

any local user configured as a DHCP client. It is highly

recommended that you leave the router enabled as a DHCP

server if you do not have a DHCP server for your network.

Enable Server -

Let the router assign IP address to every

host in the LAN.

Disable Server –

Let you manually assign IP address to

every host in the LAN.

Enable Relay Agent

- If you want to use another DHCP

server in the network other than the Vigor Router’s, you can

let Relay Agent help you to redirect the DHCP request to

the specified location.

DHCP Server IP Address –

It is available when

Enable

Relay Agent

is checked.

Set the IP address of the DHCP

server you are going to use so the Relay Agent can help to

forward the DHCP request to the DHCP server.

Start IP Address -

Enter a value of the IP address pool for

the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. If

the 1st IP address of your router is 192.168.1.1, the starting

IP address must be 192.168.1.2 or greater, but smaller than

192.168.1.254.

IP Pool Counts -

Enter the maximum number of PCs that

you want the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to. The

default is 50 and the maximum is 253.

Gateway IP Address -

Enter a value of the gateway IP

address for the DHCP server. The value is usually as same

as the 1st IP address of the router, which means the router is

the default gateway.

Lease Time

- Enter the time to determine how long the IP

address assigned by DHCP server can be used.

Clear DHCP lease for inactive clients periodically -

Whenever a DHCP client requests an IP address from the

LAN DHCP server, the server will give out an IP to this

client for a certain amount of time (e.g., 1 day). However,

even if this client only uses the IP for say 5 minutes, the

server still "reserves" 1 day for that client. Because a DHCP

server only has a limited number of IPs to lease to its

DHCP clients, soon enough all the IPs will be used out and

then no one will be able to get any IPs from this server

anymore. Therefore, this feature is used to get the IP back

from inactive clients (i.e. doesn't use the IP but the server

still reserves the IP for him.)

DNS Server IP Address

DNS stands for Domain Name System. Every Internet host

must have a unique IP address, also they may have a

human-friendly, easy to remember name such as

www.yahoo.com. The DNS server converts the

user-friendly name into its equivalent IP address

.

Primary IP Address -

You must specify a DNS server IP

address here because your ISP should provide you with

usually more than one DNS Server. If your ISP does not

provide it, the router will automatically apply default DNS

Server IP address: 194.109.6.66 to this field.

Secondary IP Address -

You can specify secondary DNS

server IP address here because your ISP often provides you

more than one DNS Server. If your ISP does not provide it,

the router will automatically apply default secondary DNS

Server IP address: 194.98.0.1 to this field.

The default DNS Server IP address can be found via Online

Status:

If both the Primary IP and Secondary IP Address fields are

left empty, the router will assign its own IP address to local

users as a DNS proxy server and maintain a DNS cache.

If the IP address of a domain name is already in the DNS

cache, the router will resolve the domain name immediately.

Otherwise, the router forwards the DNS query packet to the

external DNS server by establishing a WAN (e.g.

DSL/Cable) connection.

Lease Time

- Enter the time to determine how long the IP

address assigned by DHCP server can be used.

Use LAN Port –

Specify an IP for IP Route Subnet. If it is

enabled, DHCP server will assign IP address automatically

for the clients coming from P1 and/or P2. Please check the

box of P1 and P2.

Use MAC Address -

Check such box to specify MAC

address.

MAC Address:

Enter the MAC Address of the host one by

one and click

Add

to create a list of hosts which can be

assigned, deleted or edited from above pool. Set a list of

MAC Address for 2

nd

DHCP server will help router to

assign the correct IP address of the correct subnet to the

correct host. So those hosts in 2

nd

subnet won’t get an IP

address belonging to 1

st

subnet.

Add –

Type the MAC address in the boxes and click this

button to add.

Delete

– Click it to delete the selected MAC address.

Edit

– Click it to edit the selected MAC address.

Cancel

– Click it to cancel the job of adding, deleting and

editing.
