Prestige 304 Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch 5.2 The LAN Screen This section details DHCP setup and LAN TCP/IP in the LAN screen. 5.2.1 DHCP Setup DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the Prestige as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the Prestige provides the TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If set to None, DHCP service will be disabled and you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computer must be manually configured. The Prestige can also act as a surrogate DHCP server (DHCP Relay) where it relays IP address assignment from the real DHCP server to the clients. IP Pool Setup The Prestige is pre-configured with a pool of 32 IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33 to 192.168.1.64. This configuration leaves 31 IP addresses (excluding the Prestige itself) in the lower range for other server computers, for instance, server for mail, FTP, TFTP, web, etc., that you may have. Primary and Secondary DNS Server Refer to section 4.3.2. 5.2.2 LAN TCP/IP The Prestige has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses and DNS servers to systems that support DHCP client capability. Factory LAN Defaults The LAN parameters of the Prestige are preset in the factory with the following values: 1. IP address of 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits) 2. DHCP server enabled with 32 client IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33. These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If your ISP gives you explicit DNS server address(es), read the embedded web configurator help regarding what fields need to be configured. IP Address and Subnet Mask Refer to section 4.3.2 for this information. RIP Setup RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC 1058 and RFC 1389) allows a router to exchange routing information with other routers. RIP Direction controls the sending and receiving of RIP packets. When set to Both or Out Only, the Prestige will broadcast its routing table periodically. When set to Both or In 5-2 The Advanced Screens

The LAN Screen
This section details DHCP setup and LAN TCP/IP in the
LAN
screen.
5.2.1 DHCP Setup
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to obtain
TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the Prestige as a DHCP server or disable
it. When configured as a server, the Prestige provides the TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If set to
None
, DHCP service will be disabled and you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the
computer must be manually configured. The Prestige can also act as a surrogate DHCP server (DHCP Relay)
where it relays IP address assignment from the real DHCP server to the clients.
IP Pool Setup
The Prestige is pre-configured with a pool of 32 IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33 to 192.168.1.64.
This configuration leaves 31 IP addresses (excluding the Prestige itself) in the lower range for other server
computers, for instance, server for mail, FTP, TFTP, web, etc., that you may have.
Primary and Secondary DNS Server
Refer to section
4.3.2.
5.2.2 LAN TCP/IP
The Prestige has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses and DNS servers to systems that
support DHCP client capability.
Factory LAN Defaults
The LAN parameters of the Prestige are preset in the factory with the following values:
1.
IP address of 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits)
2.
DHCP server enabled with 32 client IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33.
These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If your ISP gives you explicit DNS server
address(es), read the embedded web configurator help regarding what fields need to be configured.
IP Address and Subnet Mask
