4.4 Network
Use the Basic Network sub-menu to establish the local IP
address for the router. These are the settings of the LAN
(Local Area
Network) interface for the router. The router‟s
local network (LAN) settings are configured based on the
IP Address and Subnet Mask assigned in this sub-menu.
The IP address is also used to access this Web-based
management Interface. It is recommended that you use
the default settings if you do not have an existing
network.
4.4.1 Router Settings.
Router IP Address. The IP address of your router on the
local area network. Your local area network settings are
based on the address assigned here. For example,
192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask. The subnet mask of your router on the
local area network.
Local Domain Name. This entry is optional. Enter a
domain name for the local network. LAN computers will
assume this domain name when they get an address
from the router‟s built in DHCP server. So, for example, if
you enter mynetwork.net here, and you have a LAN
side laptop with a name of chris, that laptop will be
known as chris.mynetwork.net. NOTE: the entered
domain name can be overridden by the one obtained
from the route
r‟s upstream DHCP server.
Enable DNS Relay. When DNS Relay is enabled, the router plays the role of a DNS server. DNS requests sent to the router are forwarded to the
ISP‟s DNS server. This provides a constant DNS address that LAN computers can use, even when the router obtains a different DNS server
address from the ISP upon re-establishing the WAN connection. You should disable DNS relay if you implement a LAN-side DNS server as a
virtual server.
