DHCP Server Configuration
Clicking
Next
in the “
DHCP
Server” screen generates the “
DHCP
Server Settings”
screen. Change
IP
address range and
DNS
server information here.
Beginning IP Address, Ending IP Address
These are the
IP
addresses at which the
DHCP
server starts and stops assigning
IP
addresses. Actiontec recommends keeping the factory default settings for these
IP
addresses (192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254, respectively).
The beginning and ending
IP
addresses define the
IP
address range of the
Gateway. If the default values are left intact, the Gateway supplies a unique IP
address between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254
to each computer on the net-
work. Note that the first three groups of numbers of the addresses are identical;
this means they are on the same subnet. The
IP
address of the Gateway must
be on the same subnet as the
IP
address range it generates. For instance, if the
Gateway’s
IP
address is changed to 10.33.222.1, set the beginning
IP
address to
10.33.222.2, and the ending
IP
address to 10.33.222.254.
