IGMP Snooping is a method that actually “snoops” or inspects
IGMP traffic on a switch. When enabled, the switch will watch for
IGMP messages passed between a host and a router, and will
add the necessary ports to its multicast table, ensuring that only
the ports that require a given multicast stream actually receive it.
The DHCP server assigns an IP addresses from a pre-set pool of
addresses upon request from DHCP client (e.g. your computer).
Do not disable the DHCP server unless you wish to let another
device handle IP address issuance on the local network.
This is the beginning and ending range for the DHCP server
addresses.
The amount of time before the IP address is refreshed by the
DHCP server.
If NAT is disabled and the PVC is the IPoA or static MER type,
this item allows you to inform the router of another DHCP server
on your LAN. To do this, disable the DHCP server on the
gateway. Then input the IP address of the current DHCP server.
Click Apply and restart the gateway.
Use this feature to create a public network on your local LAN,
accessible from the Internet. By assigning an address to this
interface and then statically setting your LAN clients to the same
network, the LAN clients are accessible from the public network
(e.g. FTP or HTTP servers).
Note: If you want to cancel all modification that you do on the Router, please
select from “ManagementSettingRestore Default Settings” to restore
factory default settings.
