Dynamic routing allows routing tables in routers to change as
the possible routes change. This router supports RIP1, RIP2­B and RIP2-M protocols for dynamic routing. After the RIP
protocol is selected, please choose the RIP direction from
“None”, “Both”, “IN Only” or “OUT Only”.
Specify the method of transmitting data simultaneously to
many receivers. Please select “IGMP v1” or “IGMP v2” as the
multicast protocol or select “Disabled” to disable the function.
When “IGMP Snoop” (Internet Group Management Protocol
Snoop) is enabled, the router can make intelligent multicast
forwarding decisions by examining the contents of each
frame’s IP header. Without the function, the router will
broadcast the multicast packets to each port and may create
excessive traffic on the network and degrade the performance
of the network.

Users can enable or disable the DHCP server. By enabling
the DHCP server the router will automatically give LAN clients
an IP address. If the DHCP is not enabled then you’ll have to
manually set your LAN client’s IP addresses.
If the DHCP Server is enabled, please set the “Starting IP
Address” which will be the first IP Address assigned to the
LAN client. By default, the “Starting IP Address” is

192.168.2.100.
Users can select a particular IP address range for your DHCP
server to issue IP addresses to your LAN Clients.
By default, the “IP Pool Count” is 100. The IP range is starting
from IP 192.168.2.100 to 192.168.2.199.
In the Lease Time setting you can specify the time period that
the DHCP Server lends an IP address to your LAN clients.
The DHCP will change the LAN client’s IP address when this
time threshold period is terminated.
A Domain Name System (DNS) server is like an index of IP
addresses and Web addresses. If users type a Web address
into your browser, such as “www.router.com”, a DNS server
will find that name in its index and the matching IP address.
Please select “Use Auto Discovered DNS Server Onl y ” to
auto set the DNS Server. If there is a DNS server that you
would rather use, please select “Use Discovered DNS Server
Only” and you need to specify the IP address of that DNS
server.
Enter the ISP’s DNS Server IP Address; or user can specify
preferred DNS Server IP Address.
This is optional. Users can enter another DNS Server’s IP
Address as a backup. The secondary DNS will be used if the
Primary DNS fail.

Chapter 5 Glossary

10Base-T

It is an Ethernet standard for Local Area Network (LAN). 10Base-T uses a twisted pair
cable with maximum length of 100 meters.

AAL

ATM Adaptation Layer that defines the rules governing segmentation and reassembly of
data into cells. Different AAL types are suited to different traffic classes.

ADSL

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, as its name showing, is an asymmetrical data
transmission technology with high traffic rate downstream and low traffic rate upstream.
ADSL technology satisfies the bandwidth requirement of applications, which demand
“asymmetric” traffic, such as web surfing, file download and Video-on-demand (VOD).

ATM

Asynchronous Transfer Mode is a layer 2 protocol supporting high-speed asynchronous
data with advanced traffic management and quality of service features.

bps

Bits per second, a standard measurement of digital transmission speeds.

Bridge

Bridge is a device that connects multiple physical networks and forward packets between
them. Bridges can usually be made to filter packets, that is, to forward only certain traffic.
Related devices are: repeaters which simply forward electrical signals from one cable to
the other and full-fledged routers which make routing decisions based on several criteria.

CPE

Customer Premises Equipment, such as ADSL router, USB modem.

49

Default Gateway (Router)

Every non-router IP device needs to configure a default gateway’s IP address. When the
device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not on the same network, the device
has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out towards the
destination.

DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, this protocol automatically gives every computer on
your home network an IP address.

DNS Server IP Address

DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet servers to have a domain
name (such as www.Broadbandrouter.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as

192.34.45.8). A DNS server keeps a database of Internet servers and their respective
domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested (as in typing
"Broadbandrouter.com" into your Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP
address. The DNS server IP address used by the computers on your home network is the
location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned to you.

DSL

Digital Line Subscriber (DSL) technology provides high-speed access over twisted copper
pair for connection to the Internet, LAN interfaces, and to broadband services such as
video-on-demand, distance learning, and video conferencing.

Ethernet

It is a standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by special cables
and hubs or switches, and move data around at up to 10/100 million bits per second
(Mbps).

FTP

File Transfer Protocol. The Internet protocol (and program) used to transfer files between
hosts.

50

Idle Timeout

Idle Timeout is designed so that after there is no traffic to the Internet for a pre-configured
amount of time, the connection will automatically be disconnected.

ISP

Internet Service Provider is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for
individuals and other businesses or organizations.

ISP Gateway Address

The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the Internet router located at the ISP's
office.

LAN

Local Area Network is a group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively
small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network is considered a LAN.

MAC Address

MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware address of a
device connected to a network. The MAC address is a unique identifier for a device with
an Ethernet interface. It is comprised of two parts: 3 bytes of data that corresponds to the
Manufacturer ID (unique for each manufacturer), plus 3 bytes that are often used as the
product’s serial number.

NAT

Network Address Translator is defined by RFC 1631. Enable a LAN network to use one
set of IP address for internal traffic. A NAT box located where the LAN meets the Internet
provides the necessary IP address translation. This helps provide a sort of firewall and
allow for a wider address range to be used internally without danger of conflict. Using the
router’s NAT capability, you can access the Internet from any computer on your home
network without having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.

Port

Network Clients (LAN PC) uses port numbers to distinguish one network
application/protocol over another. Below is a list of common applications and protocol/port
numbers:

51

Application Protocol Port Number

Telnet TCP 23

PPP

PPP is the Point-to-Point-Protocol. The successor to SLIP, PPP provides router-to-router
and host-to-network connections over both synchronous and asynchronous circuits.

PPPoA (RFC 2364)

The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a standard method for transporting multi­protocol data grams over point-to-point links. This document describes the use of ATM
Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5) for framing PPP encapsulated packets.

PPPoE (RFC 2516)

This document describes how to build PPP sessions and encapsulate PPP packets over
Ethernet. PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) provides the ability to connect a network of hosts
over a simple bridging access device to a remote Access Concentrator.

Protocol

A protocol is a set of rules for interaction agreed upon between multiple parties so that
when they interface with each other based on such a protocol, the interpretation of their
behavior is well defined and can be made objectively, without confusion or
misunderstanding.

PVC

Permanent Virtual Circuit, connection-oriented permanent leased line circuit between end­stations on a network over a separate ATM circuit.

52

RFC

Request for Comments. The document (begun in 1969) is for describing the Internet suite
of protocols and related experiments. Not all RFCs describe Internet standards, but all
Internet standards are written up as RFCs.

RFC 1483

Multi-protocol encapsulation over AAL-5. Two encapsulation methods for carrying network
interconnect traffic over ATM AAL-5. The first method allows multiplexing of multiple
protocols over a single ATM virtual circuit. The protocol of a carried PDU is identified by
prefixing the PDU by an IEEE 802.2 Logical Link Control (LLC) header. This method is in
the following called "LLC Encapsulation". The second method does higher-layer protocol
multiplexing implicitly by ATM Virtual Circuits (VCs). It is in the following called "VC Based
Multiplexing".

Router

A system responsible for making decisions about which of several paths network (or
Internet) traffic will follow. To do this, it uses a routing protocol to gain information about
the network and algorithms to choose the best route based on several criteria known as
"routing metrics.

Subnet Mask

A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by your ISP, is a
set of four numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) configured like an IP address. It is used to create
IP address numbers used only within a particular network (as opposed to valid IP address
numbers recognized by the Internet, which must be assigned by InterNIC).

TCP/IP, UDP

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Unreliable Datagram
Protocol (UDP). TCP/IP is the standard protocol for data transmission over the Internet.
Both TCP and UDP are transport layer protocol. TCP performs proper error detection and
error recovery, and thus is reliable. UDP on the other hand is not reliable. They both run
on top of the IP (Internet Protocol), a network layer protocol.

TELNET

53

It is the virtual terminal protocol in the Internet suite of protocols. Allows users of one host
to log into a remote host and act as normal terminal users of that host.

VCI

Virtual Circuit Identifier is part of the ATM cell header. A VCI is a tag indicating the channel
over which a cell will travel. The VCI of a cell can be changed as it moves between
switches via Signaling.

VPI

Virtual Path Identifier is part of the ATM cell header. A VPI is a pipe for a number of Virtual
Circuits.
