Setting Up the DHCP Server or DHCP Relay
Use the
DHCP > DHCP Setup
page to configure this router as a DHCP (Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol) server or as a DHCP relay agent.
A DHCP server automatically assigns available IP addresses to computers on your
network. An address is “leased” to a client for a specified time, and then it expires
and can be assigned to a different device. If a device needs to have an unchanging
IP addresses, you can add the device to the Static IP list. Optionally, you can use
the Static IP list to block access by devices that are not on the list or do not have
the correct IP address.
If you have another DHCP server on your network, or if you want to assign IP
addresses manually, you can disable the DHCP feature and enable DHCP Relay.
For more information, see
Enabling DHCP Server and DHCP Relay, page 64
.
NOTE
DHCP Relay is available only on the IPv4 tab. DHCPv6 Relay is not available.
