Server
Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server
information (and the BCM50a Integrated Router's WAN IP address).
The field to the right displays the (read-only) DNS server IP address
that the ISP assigns.
Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter
the DNS server's IP address in the field to the right.
Select DNS Relay to have the BCM50a Integrated Router act as a DNS
proxy. The BCM50a Integrated Router's LAN IP address displays in the
field to the right (read-only). The BCM50a Integrated Router tells the
DHCP clients on the LAN that the BCM50a Integrated Router itself is
the DNS server. When a computer on the LAN sends a DNS query to
the BCM50a Integrated Router, the BCM50a Integrated Router
forwards the query to the BCM50a Integrated Router's system DNS
server (configured in the SYSTEM General screen) and relays the
response to the computer. You can only select DNS Relay for one of
the three servers.
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not
configure a DNS server, you must know the IP address of a machine in
order to access it.
LAN TCP/IP
IP Address Type the IP address of your BCM50a Integrated Router in dotted
decimal notation (192.168.1.1 factory default).
IP Subnet Mask The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP
address. Your BCM50a Integrated Router automatically calculates the
subnet mask based on the IP address that you assign. Unless you are
implementing subnetting, use the subnet mask computed by the
BCM50a Integrated Router 255.255.255.0.
RIP Direction With RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC 1058 and RFC 1389) a
router can exchange routing information with other routers. The RIP
Direction field controls the sending and receiving of RIP packets.
Select the RIP direction from Both/In Only/Out Only/None. When set
to Both or Out Only, the BCM50a Integrated Router broadcasts its
routing table periodically. When set to Both or In Only, it incorporates
the RIP information that it receives; when set to None, it does not send
any RIP packets and ignores any RIP packets received. None is the
default.
