DNS Server

Server
The P-792H v2 passes a DNS (Domain Name System) server IP address
(in the order you specify here) to the DHCP clients.
Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information
(and the P-792H v2's WAN IP address). The IP Address field below
displays the (read-only) DNS server IP address that the ISP assigns.
Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter
the DNS server's IP address in the IP Address field below. If you chose
User-Defined, but leave the IP address set to 0.0.0.0, User-Defined
changes to None after you save your changes. If you set a second
choice to User-Defined, and enter the same IP address, the second
User-Defined changes to None after you save your changes.
Select DNS Relay to have the P-792H v2 act as a DNS proxy. The P-
792H v2's LAN IP address displays in the IP Address field below (read-
only). The P-792H v2 tells the DHCP clients on the LAN that the P-792H
v2 itself is the DNS server. When a computer on the LAN sends a DNS
query to the P-792H v2, the P-792H v2 forwards the query to the P-
792H v2's system DNS server (configured in menu 1) and relays the
response back to the computer. You can only select DNS Relay for one
of the three servers; if you select DNS Relay for a second or third DNS
server, that choice changes to
None after you save your changes.
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not
configure a DNS server, you must know the IP address of a machine in
order to access it.
DHCP Server
Address
If Relay is selected in the DHCP field above, then type the IP address of
the actual remote DHCP server here.
TCP/IP Setup:
IP Address Enter the LAN IP address of your P-792H v2 in dotted decimal notation
IP Subnet
Mask
Your P-792H v2 will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on
the IP address that you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting,
use the subnet mask computed by the P-792H v2.
RIP Direction Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select the RIP direction. Options
are: Both, In Only, Out Only or None.
Version Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select the RIP version. Options
are:
RIP-1, RIP-2B or RIP-2M.
Multicast IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a session-layer protocol used
to establish membership in a Multicast group. The P-792H v2 supports
both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and version 2 (IGMP-v2). Press
[SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to enable IP Multicasting or select None
(default) to disable it.
Edit IP Alias The P-792H v2 supports three logical LAN interfaces via its single
physical Ethernet interface with the P-792H v2 itself as the gateway for
each LAN network. Press [SPACE BAR] to select Yes and then press
[ENTER] to display menu 3.2.1.
When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt [Press ENTER to
Confirm…] to save your configuration, or press [ESC] at any time to cancel.
