IP Address
This parameter specifies the IP address of this Ethernet port on your LAN.
Mask
The subnet mask of the IP subnet to which the router is attached via this Ethernet port.
Typically, this would be 255.255.255.0 for a Class C network.
Gateway
The IP address of a gateway to be used by the router. IP packets whose destination IP
addresses are not on the LAN to which the router is connected will be forwarded to this
gateway.
DNS Server / Secondary DNS Server
The IP address of DNS servers to be used by the router for resolving IP hostnames.
Note If the IP address, Mask, Gateway, DNS server or Secondary DNS server parameters are
specified manually, but the option to use a DHCP server is later selected, any existing
manually specified parameters will override the DHCP supplied parameters. To change
from manual configuration to DHCP, be sure to remove all manually specified parameters
first.
