Verizon 4G LTE Broadband Router
Note: The default DHCP and TCP/IP values work for most users.
3. Specify the following settings:
• Device Name: Your router’s name.
• LAN TCP/IP Setup:
- IP Address: Your router’s LAN IP address.
- IP Subnet Mask: Your router’s LAN subnet mask. Combined with the IP address,
the IP subnet mask lets a computer, smartphone or tablet know which other
addresses are local to it, and which must be reached through a gateway or router.
- RIP Direction: RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC1058 and RFC1389) lets a
router exchange routing information with other routers. RIP Direction controls
how your router sends and receives RIP packets. Your router is preset to Both.
• When set to Both or Out Only, the router broadcasts its routing table
periodically.
• When set to Both or In Only, it incorporates the RIP information received.
- RIP Version: This setting controls the format and the broadcasting method of the
RIP packets that the router sends. Disabled is the default setting.
• RIP-1 is universally supported. RIP-1 is adequate for most networks, unless
you have an unusual network setup.
• RIP-2 carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing
data in RIP-2 format.
- RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting.
- RIP-2M uses multicasting.
• DHCP Server. For more information, see DHCP Settings on page 72.
- Use Router as a DHCP Server: When selected, the router functions as a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. See DHCP Settings on
page
72.
- Starting IP Address: Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in
the same subnet as the router.
- Ending IP Address: Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in
the same subnet as the router.
• Disable NAT/NAPT: Disable network address and port translation.
• Address Reservation: For more information, see Reserved IP Addresses on
page
72.
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer
receives the same IP address each time it accesses the router’s DHCP server. Assign
reserved IP addresses to servers that require permanent IP settings.
