The router will deliver the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP: · · · · · An IP Address from the range you have defined Subnet Mask Gateway IP Address (the router's LAN IP address) Primary DNS Server (if you entered a Primary DNS address in the Basic Settings menu; otherwise, the router's LAN IP address) Secondary DNS Server (if you entered a Secondary DNS address in the Basic Settings menu Using Address Reservation When you specify a reserved IP address for a PC on the LAN, that PC will always receive the same IP address each time it access the router's DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses should be assigned to servers that require permanent IP settings. In the IP Address box, type the IP address to assign to the PC or server. (choose an IP address from the router's LAN subnet, such as 192. 168. 0. X) Type the MAC Address of the PC or server.

How to Configure Static Routes Static Routes provide additional routing information to your router. Under normal circumstances, the router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for Internet access, and you do not need to configure additional static routes. You must configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets located on your network. From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click on Static Routes to view the Static Route menu, shown below. Figure 6-4. Static Route Summary Table To add or edit a Static Route: 6-10 December 2003 Advanced Configuration Reference Manual for the 54 Mbps Wireless Router WGR614 v4 1.

(This is for identification purpose only. ) Select Private if you want to limit access to the LAN only. Type the Gateway IP Address, which must be a router on the same LAN segment as the router. This represents the number of routers between your network and the destination. Usually, a setting of 2 or 3 works, but if this is a direct connection, set it to 1. Click Apply to have the static route entered into the table. 9. As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case: · · · Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP. You have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where you are employed. Your company's network is 134. 177. 0. 0. 6-11 December 2003 Advanced Configuration Reference Manual for the 54 Mbps Wireless Router WGR614 v4 When you first configured your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was created with your ISP as the gateway, and a second static route was created to your local network for all 192. 168. 0. x addresses. [. . . ] The Internet Protocol (IP) used in conjunction with the Transfer Control Protocol (TCP) form TCP/IP. TLS Short for Transport Layer Security, TLS is a protocol that guarantees privacy and data integrity between client/server applications communicating over the Internet. Glossary December 2003 9 Reference Manual for the 54 Mbps Wireless Router WGR614 v4 The TLS protocol is made up of two layers. The TLS Record Protocol ensures that a connection is private by using symmetric data encryption and ensures that the connection is reliable. The second TLS layer is the TLS Handshake Protocol, which allows authentication between the server and client and the negotiation of an encryption algorithm and cryptographic keys before data is transmitted or received. Based on Netscape's SSL 3. 0, TLS supercedes and is an extension of SSL. [. . . ]
