Configuring Network Settings

This section contains details for configuring network-related information. The network settings options are

listed below.

RIP Activate and control RIP functionality. Using RIP, the Router is able to determine the

shortest distance between two points on the network based on the addresses of the

originating devices.

Port Forwarding Control WAN-side access to LAN-side servers through private IP addressing.

UPnP Configure and control UPnP interoperability and security.

Bridge Mode Configure the Router as a true WAN/LAN bridge.

Server Ports Specify server ports used by common applications such as HTTP (Web site traffic), FTP,

and Telnet.

Dynamic DNS Set up Dynamic DNS. Dynamic DNS translates IP addresses into alphanumeric names.

For example, an IP address of 333.136.249.80 could be translated into siemens.com.
