The information in this page is updated in accordance with firmware version RUT301_R_00.07.11.3.
Summary
The Network page contains information related to the device's networking. This chapter is an overview of the Network page in RUT301 devices.
If you're having trouble finding this page or some of the parameters described here on your device's WebUI, you should turn on "Advanced WebUI" mode. You can do that by clicking the "Advanced" button, located at the top of the WebUI.
LAN
This tab displays information about the device's local network(s). The figure below is an example of the Network window:
| lan information | |
|---|---|
| Name | LAN interface name |
| Address | IP address of the LAN interface |
| Netmask | Netmask of the LAN interface. In a sense, a netmask specifies the size of a network. In other words, it indicates which part of the IP address denotes the network, and which denotes the device |
| dhcp leases | |
| Interface | Interface which leased the address |
| Hostname | Hostname of a LAN client |
| IP Address | IP address of a LAN client |
| MAC Address | MAC address of a LAN client |
| Leasetime Remaining | Remaining lease time for a DHCP client. Active DHCP lease holders will try to renew their DHCP leases after a half of the lease time passes. |
| Static Lease | This action will reserve currently assigned IP address for the device in Network -> Interfaces -> Static leases. |
Similarly there is an IPv6 dedicated tab.
| lan information | |
|---|---|
| Name | LAN interface name |
| Address | IP address of the LAN interface |
| Delegated prefix | The delegated prefix is a smaller subnet given to a device to lease IPv6 addresses for its own DHCPv6 clients. |
| dhcp leases | |
| Interface | Interface which leased the address |
| Hostname | Hostname of a LAN client |
| Address | IP address of a LAN client |
| Delegated prefix | The delegated prefix is a smaller subnet given to a device to lease IPv6 addresses for its own DHCPv6 clients. |
| DUID | DHCP unique identifier is used by DHCPv6 to identify device. Similar to MAC that is used by DHCPv4. |
| Leasetime Remaining | Remaining lease time for a DHCP client. Active DHCP lease holders will try to renew their DHCP leases after a half of the lease time passes. |
| Static Lease | This action will reserve currently assigned IP address for the device in Network -> Interfaces -> Static leases. |

| Source | Filters by source address |
| Destination | Filters by destination address |
| Options | Additional iptables options |

All active devices
This section displays the results of the scan.
| field name | description |
|---|---|
| Hostname (Vendor) | Hostname of scanned device |
| IP Address | IP address of scanned device |
| MAC Address | MAC address of scanned device |
| Type | The type of connection |
| Interface | The interface the scanned device is connected |
