LABEL DESCRIPTION
LAN IP Setup
IP Address Enter the LAN IP address you want to assign to your AMG1302-T11C in dotted decimal
notation, for example, 192.168.1.1 (factory default).
Subnet Mask Type the subnet mask of your network in dotted decimal notation, for example
255.255.255.0 (factory default).
RIP Version RIP (Routing Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing information
with other routers. RIP Version controls the format and the broadcasting method of
the RIP packets that the AMG1302-T11C sends (it recognizes both formats when
receiving). RIP-1 is universally supported; but RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-1
is probably adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network
topology. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send routing data in RIP-2 format; the difference
being that RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting while RIP-2M uses multicasting.
Multicasting can reduce the load on non-router machines since they generally do not
listen to the RIP multicast address and so will not receive the RIP packets. However, if
one router uses multicasting, then all routers on your network must use multicasting,
also.
Select the RIP version from RIP1 and RIP2-B/RIP2-M.
Direction Use this field to control how much routing information the AMG1302-T11C sends and
receives on the subnet. Select the RIP Direction from None, Both, IN Only and OUT
Only.
Multicast IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to establish
membership in a multicast group. The AMG1302-T11C supports IGMP v1/IGMP v2/
IGMP v3. Select None to disable it.
IGMP Snooping Select Enabled to activate IGMP Snooping. This allows the AMG1302-T11C to
passively learn memberships in multicast groups. Otherwise, select Disabled to
deactivate it.
DHCP Server State
DHCP If set to Enable, your AMG1302-T11C can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway
and DNS servers to Windows 95, Windows NT and other systems that support the
DHCP client.
If set to Disable, the DHCP server will be disabled.
If set to DHCP Relay, the AMG1302-T11C acts as a surrogate DHCP server and relays
DHCP requests and responses between the remote server and the clients. Enter the IP
address of the actual, remote DHCP server in the Remote DHCP Server field in this
case.
When DHCP is used, the following items need to be set:
IP Addressing Values
Beginning IP Address This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool.
Pool Size This field specifies the size, or count of the IP address pool.
DHCP Server Lease Time
Lease Time This field specifies the lease time in seconds of an IP address assigned by the DHCP
server.
DNS Values
This field is only available when you select Enable
in the DHCP field.
