DHCP
The DHCP server is enabled by default for the router’s Ethernet LAN interface. DHCP service
will supply IP settings to workstations configured to automatically obtain IP settings that are
connected to the router though the Ethernet port. When the router is used for DHCP it becomes
the default gateway for DHCP client connected to it. The IP address pool can be up to 253 IP
addresses and must be in the subnet of the router’s IP address. The default IP address pool
uses 100 IP addresses in the 192.168.1.100 – 192.168.1.199 range.
