The Vigor2300 router provides many built-in server and
software features to provide a convenient comprehensive solution
for your SOHO network.
For DSL
users, the router has a built-in PPPoE client for establishing a
connection with the ISP. There is no need to install a further PPPoE
driver on your computers.
Some DSL
modems (e.g. Alcatel modems) only provide a PPTP local connection
for an end user computer. The router has a built-in PPTP client for
establishing a connection for your local network. There is no need to
install a PPTP client driver on your computers.
In most
cable modem environments, the router supports a DHCP client on the
WAN port. They can automatically get IP network settings from a cable
head-end access server.
For most dynamic IP users, the client
can update the WAN IP address to the registered DDNS provider when
the WAN IP has been changed.
For the router, the
client can get network time information from the specfied time server
and provide a time base for call scheduling usage.
WAN Features
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) Client:
Point-to-Point Tunnelling Protocol (PPTP) Client:
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Client:
Dynamic DNS (DDNS) Client:

1.4 Detailed Features

Network Features
The server
provides an easy-to-configure function for your local IP network. It can
automatically assign IP network configurations for local PCs, such as IP
address, IP netmask, gateway IP address, and Domain Name server etc.
The DNS proxy maintains a
DNS cache, including a mapping table of domain names and IP
addresses. The proxy also remembers DNS query packets sent through
the router and saves them into its own DNS cache. For enhanced speed,
when a DNS query packet enters the router, the proxy searches its local
DNS cache. If matched, the router sends an answer to the host that sent
the DNS query packet. Only unmatched DNS queries require querying a
WAN Domain Name Server.
Multi-NAT
allows multiple SOHO users to concurrently connect to an Internet
Service Provider (ISP) via a single Internet access account or multiple
statically-assigned IP addresses.
Used in most
LAN-to-LAN applications. The RIP protocol exchanges routing
information between routers.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server:
Domain Name Server (DNS) Proxy:
Mutiple Network Address Translation (Multi-NAT):
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Support:
