 Obtain an IP address au tomatically: Select this option, the router will be able to obtain IP

netw ork informati on dynam ic ally from a DHCP server provided by your ISP .

Note:

1) The response message from a DHCP server typically contains a number of configuration

parameters (DHCP options) for the router. The DHCP options include IP network information, and a lso th e vendor-specific options. In some cases, the router is implemented to perform user-defi ned oper ations (as shown below). You can implement your own treatment of all such options.

2) If the router is functioning as a DHCP client, it must identify itself in option 61 (client-identifier)

in every DH CP mes sage. DUID/IAID is portion of option 61.

• Option 6 0 V endor ID: The option code 60 used to identify Vendor class.

• Option 61 IAID: IAID (Identity Association ID) assigns an Identity Association ID to

individual interfaces. In cases where the device is functioning with a single DHCP client identity, it must use value 1 for IAID for all DHCP interactions. In cases where the device is functioning with multiple DHCP client identities, the values of IAID have to start at 1 for the first identity and be incremented for each subsequent identity. For example, the device may use IAID value 1 for the first physical interface and value 2 for the second. Alternatively, the device may use IAID value 1 for the virtual circuit corresponding to the first connection object in the data model and value 2 for the second connection object in the data model.

• Option 61 DUID: Specifies the name of the interface whose link-layer address the server is to use as its DUID ( DHCP Unique Identifier). You must enter a value for this parameter or the server will not start. When the server starts, the DUID is w ritten to the system log.

TD-W8950N 150Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router User Guide

• Option 125: The option 125 allows DHCP server to be pre-configured with policy for handling classes of devices in a certain way without requiring DHCP server to be able to parse the unique form at used in cl ient-identifi er option.

IP address for the Internet. If this router is hosting your network’s connection to the Internet, please select the check box. If another router exists in your networ k, you don’t need to select the option.

 Enable Firewall: A SPI firewall enhances network’s security. Select the option to use a

firew al l, or else w i thout a firew all .

 E nable IGMP Multicast: This is enabled by default. This setting will not allow IGMP (Internet

Group Management Protocol) packets to be forwarded to the LAN. IGMP is used to manage multicasting on TCP/IP networks. Most users will not need to enable this. Some ISPs use IGMP to perform remote configur ation for client devices, such as the router. If you are unsure, check with your I S P .

TD-W8950N 150Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router User Guide

 Fragmentation Threshold: This value specifies the maxi mum size for a packet before data

is fragmented into multiple packets. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase the Fragmentation Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network performance. Only minor reduction of the default value is recom m ended. I n most cases, it should remain at its default value of 2346.

 RTS Threshold: Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor reduction of the

default value 2347 is recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The router sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. This mechanism can provide you a quiet communication channel by notifying other stations not to send packet for a period of time. In most cases, keep its default value of 2347.

 DTIM Interval: This value, between 1 and 255, indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic

Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. The countdown unit is measured by the amounts of beacon frames received. When the router has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default value i s 1.

 Beacon Interval: Enter a value between 20-1000 milliseconds. The beacons are the packets

sent by the modem router to synchronize a wireless network. Beacon Interval value determi nes the time interval of the beacons. The default v alue is 100.

 Transmit Power: This option will allow you to configure the wireless transmit power. High

transmit power will extend the wireless signal range of the device and make the signal transmit more legible. Low transmit po wer with the smaller wireless signal range that will decrease the probability of interrupt by other Wi -Fi device.

 WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia): This function can guarantee the packets with high-priority

mes sages being transm itted preferential ly. It is strongly recom m ended.

TD-W8950N 150Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router User Guide



SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) has been widely applied in the computer networks currently, which is used for ensuring the transmission of the management information between any two nodes. In this way, network administrators can easily sear ch and modify the information on any node on the network. Meanwhile, they can locate faults promptly and implement the fault diagnosis , capaci ty planni ng and report generating.

An SNM P Age nt is an application running on the router that performs the operational role of receiving and processing SNMP messages, sending responses to the SNMP manager, and sending traps when an event occurs. So a router containing SNMP "agent" software can be moni tored and/or controll ed by SNMP Manager using S N M P mes sages.

An SNM P M anager or SNMP Service is an application that performs the operational roles of generating SNMP messages/requests to modify and retrieve management information, and receiving the requested information and trap-event reports that are generated by the SNMP agent. SNMP Manager is the third-party managem ent s ystem . M onitor one i s an SN M P Manager.

Figure 4-104

 SNMP Agent: You can select the checkbox to disable or enable the function.

Note:

SNM P Community string provides a simple method of authentication between the router (SNMP

Agent) and a remote network manager (SNMP Manager). You can specify the community string as the passw ord to authenticate the m anagem ent station to the router.

 Read Community: This field allows you to specify the SNMP Community string which

provides read-only access to the router that the community is only permitted to read the device configurati on. The default val ue is “publi c”.
