Configuring the DHCP server
This chapter will show you how to configure the internal DHCP server, which manages your computers’ IP
addresses.
- On the Home page, click the
Advanced settings
button.
- Select
Modem router addressing.
- You can modify the
IP Router address (192.168.1.1,
by default) and its
Subnet mask (255.255.255.0, by
default).
- If you would like this address to be obtained
automatically from another DHCP server, tick the
Obtain an IP address automatically box.
Make absolutely sure to write down this IP
address! Without it, you will not be able to reconnect
to your router.
- If you leave the
Internal DHCP server enabled box
ticked, you can modify the
Start IP address
(192.168.1.2, by default), the
End IP address
(192.168.1.254, by default) and the
Validity duration
(60 minutes, by default) of these addresses.
- If you tick the
DHCP relay from box, the modem is
no longer the DHCP server, but only a relay. The IP
addresses of your network devices, instead of being
assigned by the modem, are now assigned by another
DHCP server whose address you have entered
(provided by the network administrator).
- If you tick the
Internal server and Relay disabled
box, you as a user decide to now assign the IP
address for each computer yourself.
