provider. The Client IP Pool Starting Address gives the first
address in the reserved block, which is also used as the LAN
network address of the Prestige itself. This address will also
serve as the default gateway for DHCP clients.
3. Size of Client IP Pool - Gives the size of the block of
addresses reserved for DHCP address assignment. The Prestige
itself uses the first address in the block, and the remaining
addresses in the pool are assigned to clients.
4. Primary DNS Server/Secondary DNS Server - These two
fields are used by DHCP clients (such as Windows 95 and
Windows NT systems) for Domain Name Servers. Usually your
Internet provider will provide one or more name service hosts.
5. IP Address - Enter the IP address of the Prestige in dotted
decimal notation (four 8-bit numbers, between 0 and 255,
separated by periods), e.g., 192.68.135.5. Note that every
machine on the TCP/IP network must have a unique IP
address.
6. IP Subnet Mask - An IP address consists of two parts, the
network ID and the host ID. The IP Subnet Mask is used to
specify the network ID portion of the address, expressed in
dotted decimal notation. The Prestige will automatically
calculate this mask based on the IP address that you assign.
Unless you have special need for subnetting, use the default
subnet mask calculated by the Prestige.
7. RIP Direction - This parameter determines how the Prestige
handles RIP (Routing Information Protocol). If set to Both
(default), the Prestige will broadcast its routing table on the
LAN, and incorporate RIP broadcasts by other routers into its
routing table. If set to In Only, the Prestige will not broadcast
its routing table on the LAN, if set to Out Only, the Prestige
will broadcast its routing table but ignores any RIP broadcast
