Link: DHCP Server
When you click DHCP Server , the DHCP Server Configuration page appears.
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.
The Server configuration determines the functionality of your DHCP Settings. This function-
ality enables the Router to assign your LAN computer(s) a “private” IP address and other
parameters that allow network communication.
• Router IP Address: Specifies the IP address of the Router itself.
• Subnet Mask: Specifies the subnet mask of the Router itself. Defaults to the common
Class C subnet.
• DHCP Start Address: Specifies the first address in the DHCP address range. You can
reserve a sequence of up to 253 IP addresses (including up to 64 IP addresses for
wireless clients) within a subnet, beginning with the specified address, for dynamic
assignment.
• DHCP End Address: Specifies the last address in the DHCP address range.
