IP ADDRESS DISTRIBUTION
The IP Address Distribution section is used to configure the
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server parameters of
your Fios Home Router.
Once enabled and configured, the DHCP server automatically
assigns IP addresses to any network devices which are set to
obtain their IP address dynamically.
If DHCP Server is enabled on your Fios Home Router, configure the
network devices as DHCP Clients. There are 2 basic options in this
section: Disabled and DHCP Server.
To set up the Fios Home Router’s network bridge to function as a
DHCP server:
1. In the IP Address Distribution section, select the DHCP
server. Once enabled, the DHCP server provides automatic
IP assignments (also referred to as IP leases) based on the
preset IP range defined below.
