Chapter 6: Configuration
This chapter describes the different features of your router and explains
how to customise them to meet your network requirements.
Setting up the router in your LAN
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Setup
Setting Up the Router in Your LAN
The following table lists out the parameters relevant to your LAN setup.
You can replace the default settings with appropriate values to suit the
needs of your LAN.
LAN Parameters Description
IP Address
The IP address of your router access point is 192.168.168.1
by default.
When the DHCP server of the access point is enabled, this
LAN <IP address> would be allocated as the Default
Gateway of the DHCP client unless you set a different
<DHCP Gateway IP address>
Network Mask
The Network Mask identifies the subnet in which your
router resides.
The default network mask is 255.255.255.0.
Management
Gateway IP
(Optional) As a bridge router, the router does not usually
communicate with devices on other IP subnets. However,
the Management Gateway here acts as the equivalent
of the Default Gateway of a PC, to allow the router to
communicate with devices on different subnets.
For instance, if you want to access the router from the
internet or from the router on the LAN, you can set the IP
address of the router as the Management Gateway IP.
The Management Gateway IP address of your router is set
to Nil by default.
The next two fields (DHCP Start IP Address and DHCP End IP Address) allow you
to define the range of IP addresses from which the DHCP Server can assign an
IP address to the LAN.
DHCP Start IP
Address
This is the first IP address that the DHCP server will assign.
The value you enter should belong to the same subnet as
your router.
For example if the IP address and network mask of your
router are 192.168.168.1 and 255.255.255.0 res
