Reference Manual for the ADSL Modem Wireless Router DG834G • RIP Direction RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows a modem router to exchange routing information with other routers. The RIP Direction selection controls how the Modem Router sends and receives RIP packets. Both is the default. - When set to Both or Out Only, the modem router will broadcast its routing table periodically. - When set to Both or In Only, it will incorporate the RIP information that it receives. - When set to None, it will not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets received. • RIP Version This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the modem router sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving. By default, this is set for RIP-1. - RIP-1 is universally supported. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network setup. - 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. DHCP By default, the modem router will function as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the modem router's LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the router. IP addresses will be assigned to the attached PCs from a pool of addresses specified in this menu. 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 router are satisfactory. See "Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing" in Appendix C for an explanation of DHCP and information about how to assign IP addresses for your network. Use Router as DHCP server If another device on your network will be the DHCP server, or if you will manually configure the network settings of all of your computers, clear the 'Use router as DHCP server' check box. Otherwise, leave it selected. 6-6 Advanced Configuration v1.0, January 2006
