assign IP addresses to computers connected to it.

LAN obtain IP addresses that are in the range of the starting and ending IP
addresses.
 DHCP Lease Time: The valid time for an IP address that is automatically
assigned by the DHCP server to a host. The DHCP server does not assign
the IP address to other hosts within the specified time.
