Start IP Address: Enter a value of the IP address pool for the
DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. If the
2nd IP address of your router is 220.135.240.1, the starting IP
address must be 220.135.240.2 or greater, but smaller than
220.135.240.254.
IP Pool Counts: Enter the number of IP addresses in the pool.
The maximum is 10. For example, if you type 3 and the 2nd
IP address of your router is 220.135.240.1, the range of IP
address by the DHCP server will be from 220.135.240.2 to
220.135.240.11.
MAC Address: Enter the MAC Address of the host one by one
and click Add to create a list of hosts to be assigned, deleted
or edited IP address 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.
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 dispatches 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 device’s, you can let Relay Agent help you to
redirect the DHCP request to the specified location.
Enable Server - Let the router assign IP address to every host
in the LAN.
Disable Server – Let you manually assign IP address to every
host in the LAN.
Relay Agent – (1
st
subnet/2
nd
subnet) Specify which subnet
that DHCP server is located the relay agent should redirect
the DHCP request to.
DHCP Server IP Address – It is available when Enable
Relay Agent is checked. Set the IP address of the DHCP
server you are going to use so the Relay Agent can help
to forward the DHCP request to the DHCP server.
Start IP Address - Enter a value of the IP address pool for the
DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. If the
1st IP address of your router is 192.168.1.1, the starting IP
