TCP/IP and DHCP Setup
TheModelRP114routerhasthecapabilitytoactasaDHCPserver,allowingittoassignIP,DNS,
and default gateway addresses to attached PCs or workstations. The assigned default gateway
address is the LAN address of the router, as set in the TCP/IP section. Each pool address is tested
before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.
If you are setting up your network for the first time, read about IP addresses starting with “IP
Addresses and the Internet”onpage B-2 and “IP Configuration by DHCP”onpage B-10 for an
explanation of DHCP and information about how to assign IP addresses for your network.
For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are satisfactory. These
default settings are:
LAN IP address 192.168.0.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
DHCP server enabled with 32 client addresses starting from 192.168.0.1.
DNS Proxy enabled (the router address is assigned as a DNS server).
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.
