Configuring DHCP
By default, your Bridge/Router has LAN-side Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server disabled. This is necessary if you already have a DHCP server running
on your network.
To configure and enable DHCP:
1. Select DHCP Configuration from the Services > Options menu. The DHCP
Configuration screen appears.
2. Select DHCP Server and click on Settings. The DHCP Server Configuration screen
appears.
3. Click on the Status of udhcps-1 button to see the lease time for the PCs that have
connected via DHCP. Click on the Configure udhcps-1 button to see the DHCP
server configuration information:
The Lease Time is the amount of time a network user is allowed connection to the
Bridge/Router with their current dynamic IP address before it must be renewed. The
time is in units of seconds. The default value is 3600 seconds (60 minutes).
If you change the Start IP or End IP values, make sure the values are still within the
same subnet as the Bridge/Router’s IP address. Otherwise you will not be able to
communicate with the Bridge/Router if your PC has DHCP enabled.
The Start IP Address is where the DHCP server starts issuing IP addresses. This
value must be greater than the Bridge/Router’s IP address value. For example, if
the Bridge/Router’s IP address is 192.168.1.1 (the default), then the starting IP
address must be 192.168.1.2 or higher.
