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

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 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
“Using the Modem
Router as a DHCP Server” 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 router’s DHCP server. Assign reserved IP
addresses to servers that require permanent IP settings.

Using the Modem Router as a DHCP Server
By default, the modem router functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server,
allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to
the modem router’s LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the modem
router. IP addresses is assigned to the attached PCs from a pool of addresses specified in this
screen. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.
For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the modem router are satisfactory.
See the online document listed in
“Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing” in Appendix C
for an explanation of DHCP and information about how to assign IP addresses for your network.
Use Router as DHCP Server
If another device on your network will be the DHCP server, or if you will manually configure the
network settings of all of your computers, clear the
Use Router as DHCP Server
check box on
the LAN IP Setup screen. Otherwise, leave it selected.
Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by filling in the
Starting IP Address
and
Ending
IP Address
fields. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as the modem
router’s LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, you should define a range between
192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254, although you might want to save part of the range for devices with
fixed addresses.
The modem router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
•
An IP address from the range you have defined.
•
Subnet mask.
•
Gateway IP Address is the router’s LAN IP address.
•
Primary DNS server, if you entered a primary DNS address in the Basic Settings screen;
otherwise, the router’s LAN IP address.
•
Secondary DNS server, if you entered a secondary DNS address in the Basic Settings screen.
•
WINS Server (Windows Internet Naming Service Server), determines the IP address
associated with a particular Windows computer. A WINS server records and reports a list of
names and IP address of Windows PCs on its local network. If you connect to a remote
network that contains a WINS server, enter the server’s IP address here. This allows your PCs
to browse the network using the Network Neighborhood feature of Windows.

Defining Reserved IP Addresses
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer always
receives the same IP address each time it access the modem router’s DHCP server. Reserved IP
addresses should be assigned to servers that require permanent IP settings.
To reserve an IP address:
1.
Click the
Add
button.
2.
In the
IP Address
field, type the IP address to assign to the computer or server.
Choose an IP address from the router’s LAN subnet, such as 192.168.0.x.
3.
Type the MAC address of the computer or server.
4.
Click
Apply
to enter the reserved address into the table.
To edit or delete a reserved address entry:
1.
Click the button next to the reserved address you want to edit or delete.
2.
Click
Edit
or
Delete
.
Figure 5-3
Tip:
If the computer is on your network, it is listed on the same page for your
convenience. Clicking the radio button for each entry in the attached device list
fills in the fields automatically with the computer’s MAC address and name.
Note:
The reserved address will not be assigned until the next time the computer
contacts the router’s DHCP server. Reboot the computer or access its IP
configuration and force a DHCP release and renew.

Configuring Dynamic DNS
If your network has a permanently assigned IP address, you can register a domain name and have
that name linked with your IP address by public Domain Name Servers (DNS). However, if your
Internet account uses a dynamically assigned IP address, you will not know in advance what your
IP address will be, and the address can change frequently. In this case, you can use a commercial
Dynamic DNS service to register your domain to their IP address, and forward traffic directed at
your domain to your frequently changing IP address.
The modem router contains a client that can connect to a Dynamic DNS service provider. To use
this feature, you must select a service provider and obtain an account with them. After you have
configured your account information in the modem router, whenever your ISP-assigned IP address
changes, your modem router will automatically contact your Dynamic DNS service provider, log
in to your account, and register your new IP address.
To configure Dynamic DNS:
1.
Log in to the modem router at its default LAN address of
with its default
user name of
admin
default password of
password
, or using whatever user name, password
and LAN address you have chosen for the modem router.
2.
From the main menu, select Dynamic DNS to display the Dynamic DNS screen:
3.
Access the website of one of the Dynamic DNS service providers whose names appear in the
Service Provider
drop-down list, and register for an account.
Warning:
If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x,
the Dynamic DNS service will not work because private addresses will not be
routed on the Internet.

For example, for dyndns.org, go to www.dyndns.org.
4.
Select the
Use a Dynamic DNS Service
check box.
5.
Select the name of your dynamic DNS service provider.
6.
Fill in the
Host Name
,
User Name
, and
Password
fields.
The dynamic DNS service provider may call the host name a domain name. If your URL is
myName.dyndns.org, then your host name is myName. The password can be a key for your
dynamic DNS account.
7.
If your dynamic DNS provider allows the use of wildcards in resolving your URL, you can
select the
Use wildcards
check box to activate this feature.
For example, the wildcard feature will cause *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same
IP address as yourhost.dyndns.org.

Using Static Routes
Static routes provide additional routing information to your modem router. Under normal
circumstances, the modem router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for
Internet access, and you do not need to configure additional static routes. You must configure
static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets located on your
network.
Static Route Example
As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:
•
Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.
•
You have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where you are
employed. This router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.0.100.
•
Your company’s network is 134.177.0.0.
When you first configured your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was
created with your ISP as the modem router, and a second static route was created to your local
network for all 192.168.0.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on
the 134.177.0.0 network, your router forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your
request to the company where you are employed, and the request is likely to be denied by the
company’s firewall.
