7-12 Using the Manager Interface for Initial Router Configuration

Table 7-5 lists and describes the fields to use for setting up TCP/IP and DHCP parameters in

Menu 3.2. When you finish entering information in all of the fields, press [Enter] at the prompt

Press ENTER to Confirm. Your selections are saved. Press [Esc] at any time to cancel the entries

you have made.

Note:

If you change the LAN IP address of the router while connected through Telnet,

you lose the Telnet session. You must then open a new Telnet connection to the new IP

address and log in again.

Table 7-5. Menu 3.2 - TCP/IP and DHCP Setup Fields

Field Description

DHCP: If set to Server, the router acts as a DHCP server.

If set to None, the router’s DHCP server is disabled.

DHCP Configuration:

Client IP Pool Starting

Address

This field is the beginning of the range of addresses to assign.

Size of Client IP Pool This field is the number of sequential addresses available for

assignment to attached hosts. The maximum is 32.

Primary DNS Server If you want the router to provide the Primary DNS Server address to

attached hosts, enter the DNS address in this field. If this field is 0.0.0.0,

the router assigns its own address as DNS Server, and performs a DNS

Proxy if it can obtain a DNS address from the ISP.

Secondary DNS Server If you want the router to assign the Secondary DNS Server address

to attached hosts, enter the address in this field.

TCP/IP Setup:

IP Address Enter the IP address of the LAN interface of the router in dotted-decimal

notation (four 8-bit numbers, between 0 and 255, separated by periods,

for example, 192.168.0.1). Every device on the TCP/IP network must

have a unique IP address.

IP Subnet Mask An IP address consists of two parts, the network ID and the host ID. The

IP Subnet Mask specifies the network ID portion of the address, written

in dotted-decimal notation. The router automatically calculates this mask

for the class of the IP address that you assign. Unless you have a

special need for subnetting, use the default subnet mask calculated by

the router. All hosts on the LAN segment should use the same mask.
