Parameter
Description
DHCP Server
Enable/disable the device’s DHCP server. By default, it is enabled.
Start IP
The first IP address that can be assigned to a DHCP client. By default, it is 192.168.0.25400.
End IP
The last IP address that can be assigned to a DHCP client. By default, it is 192.168.2.200.
Subnet Mask
It is used to determine the IP segment of the DHCP server. By default, it is 255.255.255.0.
Gateway
It is assigned to DHCP clients so that they can find a network path to access the internet or
other networks. By default, it is 192.168.2.254.
Primary DNS
Server
Domain names, such as
www.google.com
, are easier to remember than IP addresses, such
as
93.46.8.89
. A correct DNS server allows you to access websites using their domain names
instead of IP addresses.
Secondary DNS
Server
It is a backup DNS server address.
Lease Time
When a DHCP client obtains IP address, the DHCP server will assign a certain lease time to
the client's IP address. If a DHCP client wants to use the IP address continuously, when the
lease time goes to 50%, the DHCP client will transmit a unicast DHCP request to the DHCP
server. If the DHCP client gets no response from the DHCP server, it will continue to transmit
a unicast DHCP request to the DHCP server when the lease time goes to 7/8. If it fails again,
when the lease time goes to 100%, the IP address will be released and might be used by
other DHCP clients.
Configure DHCP server
Note
If more than one DHCP server exists in the same network, to avoid IP conflict, make sure the IP pool of each DHCP
server doesn’t overlap.
