Actiontec Wireless Broadband Router User Manual IP Address Distribution According to DHCP Option 60 DHCP Option 60 is used to preset a general name for a product or product family, as well as set a specific IP range and priority level. In this way, one device and its traffic can be given higher priority over another device. ☞ Note: To use this feature, the device must output a vendor class ID for option 60 to assign it traffic prirority. To add a new product or product family, click New IP Range. This generates the "DHCP Server Pool Settings" screen. Set the device name, IP range, and priority level in the appropriate text boxes. Routing The Router can be configured to use static or dynamic routing. Dynamic routing automatically adjusts how packets travel on the network, while static routing specifies a fixed routing path to neighboring destinations. There are two options in the "Routing" section of the "Configure WAN Coax Link Ethernet" screen: Basic or Advanced. Basic Select this option for basic routing operation. Advanced To set up the Router's Broadband Ethernet connection for advanced routing: 1. Select Advanced from the Routing drop-down menu. 2. Enter a device metric in the "Device Metric" text box. The device metric is a value used by the Router to determine whether one route is superior to another, considering parameters such as bandwidth and delay time. 58
