The Server configuration determines the functionality of your DHCP Settings. This functionality enables the Router to assign your LAN computer(s) a 'private' IP address and other parameters that allow network communication. This feature simplifies network administration because the Router maintains a list of IP address assignments. Additional computers can be added to your LAN without the hassle of configuring an IP address. This is the default mode for your Router.
- Device IP address: Specifies the IP address of the Router itself.
- Subnet Mask: Specifies the common Class C subnet.
- DHCP Server Enable: Uncheck this setting if you already have a DHCP server on your LAN. This enables the DHCP server in this Router.
- DHCP Start Address: Specifies the first address in the DHCP address range. You can reserve a sequence of up to 253 IP addresses within a subnet, beginning with the specified address, for dynamic assignment.
- DHCP End Address: Specifies the last address in the DHCP address range.
- DHCP Lease: Specifies the default length for DHCP leases issued by the Router. Enter lease time in dd:hh:mm:ss (day/hour/minute/second) format.
More IP Subnets: Link to configuration of up to seven additional IP Subnets and corresponding DHCP server ranges. |
