DHCP
The DHCP page allows you to configure your Cable Modem/Router’s DHCP server.
To access the DHCP page:
1 Click the Router menu tab.
2 Then click the DHCP submenu.
Figure 13 shows an example of the menu and Table 13 describes the items you can
select.
Figure 13. Example of DHCP Page
In the unusual event that you have a separate DHCP server on your LAN, you can
disable the Cable Modem/Router’s DHCP server by selecting the No radio button. If you
do this, make sure the IP address assigned to the Cable Modem/Router is on the same
subnet as that of the external DHCP server, or you won’t be able to access the Cable
Modem/Router from the LAN. The base LAN IP address of the Cable Modem/Router can
be set from the Basic Setup page.
Note that the Cable Modem/Router will only operate on a class C subnet, with subnet
mask 255.255.255.0
You may also want to disable the DHCP server if you have assigned static IP addresses
to all devices on your network.
