Figure 8-120: DHCP Server Settings for LAN Switch
2. Select the DHCP service:
Disabled Disable the DHCP server for this device.
DHCP Server Enable the DHCP server for this device.
DHCP Relay Set this device to act as a DHCP relay (refer to Section
8.6.2.2).
Assuming you have chosen DHCP Server, complete the following fields:
Start IP Address The first IP address that may be assigned to a LAN host.
Since the gateway's default IP address is 192.168.1.1, this address must be
192.168.1.2 or greater.
End IP Address The last IP address in the range that can be used to automati-
cally assign IP addresses to LAN hosts.
Subnet Mask A mask used to determine to what subnet an IP address be-
longs. An example of a subnet mask value is 255.255.0.0.
Lease Time In Minutes Each device will be assigned an IP address by the
DHCP server for a this amount of 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 that are not in use will become
available for other computers on the network.
Provide Host Name If Not Specified by Client If the DHCP client does not have
a host name, the gateway will automatically assign one for him.
