Chapter 7 Using Advanced Settings
• Lease Time - each device will be assigned an IP address by the DHCP server
for a limited time (“Lease Time”) when it connects to the network. When
the lease expires, the server will determine if the computer has disconnected
from the network. If it has, the server may reassign this IP address to a
newly-connected computer. This feature ensures that IP addresses not in use
will become available for other computers on the network.
• Provide host name if not specified by client - when activated, the Router
assigns the client a default name if the DHCP client does not have a host name.
• IP Address Distribution...Option 60 - DHCP Option 60 is used to preset
a general name for a product or product family, as well as set a specific IP
range and priority level. In this way, one device and its traffic can be given
higher priority over another device.
