Routing Information Protocol.
DHCP Server
Configuration
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The
router by factory default acts a DHCP server for your network
so it automatically dispatch related IP settings to any local
user configured as a DHCP client. It is highly recommended
that you leave the router enabled as a DHCP server if you do
not have a DHCP server for your network.
If you want to use another DHCP server in the network other
than the Vigor Router’s, you can let Relay Agent help you to
redirect the DHCP request to the specified location.
Start IP Address - The beginning LAN IP address that is given
out to LAN DHCP clients.
IP Pool Counts - The maximum number of IP addresses to be
handed out by DHCP. The default value is 100. Valid range is
between 1 and 253. The actual number of IP addresses
available for assignment is the IP Pool Counts, or 253 minus
the last octet of the Start IP Address, whichever is smaller.
Gateway IP Address - The IP address of the gateway, which is
the host on the LAN that relays all traffic coming into and
going out of the LAN. The gateway is normally the router, and
therefore the Gateway IP Address should be identical to the
IP Address in the Network Configuration section above.
Lease Time - The maximum duration DHCP-issued IP
addresses can be used before they have to be renewed.
Use LAN Port – Specify an IP for IP Route Subnet. If it is
enabled, DHCP server will assign IP address automatically for
the clients coming from P1 and/or P2. Please check the box
of P1 and P2.
Use MAC Address - Check such box to specify MAC address.
MAC Address: Enter the MAC Address of the host one by
one and click Add to create a list of hosts which can be
assigned, deleted or edited from above pool. Set a list
of MAC Address for 2
nd
DHCP server will help router to
assign the correct IP address of the correct subnet to
the correct host. So those hosts in 2
nd
subnet won’t get
an IP address belonging to 1
st
subnet.
Add – Type the MAC address in the boxes and click this button
to add.
Delete – Click it to delete the selected MAC address.
Edit – Click it to edit the selected MAC address.
Cancel – Click it to cancel the job of adding, deleting and
editing.
When you finish the configuration, please click OK to save and exit this page.
