Super G Wireless Router WGT624 v4 User Manual
Advanced Configuration 5-11
v1.0, July 2008
The LAN IP parameters are:
• IP Address.
This is the LAN IP address of the router.
• IP Subnet Mask.
This is the LAN Subnet Mask of the 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 router.
• RIP Direction.
RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing information with other
routers. The RIP Direction selection controls how the router sends and receives RIP packets.
None is the default.
– Both or Out Only: The router will broadcast its routing table periodically.
– Both or In Only: The router will incorporate the RIP information that it receives.
– None (default): The 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 router sends.
(It recognizes both formats when receiving.) By default, it is disabled.
– RIP-1 is universally supported. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you
have an unusual network setup.
– RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting.
Using the Router as a DHCP Server
By default, the router will function as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server,
allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to
the router’s LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the router. IP
addresses will be assigned to the attached computers from a pool of addresses specified in this
menu. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.
Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the router while your computer is connected
through the browser, you will be disconnected. You need run ipconfig /release and
ipconfig /renew commands on your computer to reconnect to the router. You might
need to restart your computer for the new IP address setting to take effect.
