D6200 WiFi DSL Modem Router

- 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.

Use Router as DHCP Server

This check box is selected so that the WiFi DSL modem router functions as a Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.

• Starting IP Address. Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the

same subnet as the WiFi DSL modem router.

• Ending IP Address. Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the

same subnet as the WiFi DSL modem router.

For more information, see Use the WiFi DSL Modem Router as a DHCP Server on page 54.

Address Reservation

When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer receives

the same IP address each time it accesses the WiFi DSL modem router’s DHCP server.

Assign reserved IP addresses to servers that require permanent IP settings. For more

information, see

Address Reservation on page 55.

Use the WiFi DSL Modem Router as a DHCP Server

By default, the WiFi DSL modem router functions as a DHCP server, allowing it to assign IP,

DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the WiFi DSL

modem router’s LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the WiFi

DSL modem router. The WiFi DSL modem router assigns IP addresses to the attached

computers 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 WiFi DSL modem router are satisfactory.

You can specify the pool of IP addresses that are assigned by setting the starting IP address

and ending IP address. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as

the WiFi DSL 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 WiFi DSL modem router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that

requests DHCP:

• An IP address from the range that you have defined

• Subnet mask

• Gateway IP address (the WiFi DSL modem router’s LAN IP address)

• DNS server IP address (the WiFi DSL modem router’s LAN IP address)

To use another device on your network as the DHCP server, or to manually configure the

network settings of all of your computers, clear the Use Router as DHCP Server check box

and click Apply. Otherwise, leave this check box selected. If this service is not enabled and
