Parameter Description
Start IP Address
It specifies the start IP address of the IP address pool of the DHCP server. The
default value is
192.168.0.100 .
End IP Address
It specifies the end IP address of the IP address pool of the DHCP server. The
default value is
192.168.0.200 .
Lease Time
It specifies the validity period of an IP address assigned by the DHCP server to a
client.
When half of the lease time has elapsed, the client sends a DHCP Request to the
DHCP server to renew the lease time. If the request succeeds, the lease time is
extended according to the request. Otherwise, the client sends the request again
when 7/8 of the lease time has elapsed. If the request succeeds, the lease time is
extended according to the request. Otherwise, the client must request an IP
address from the DHCP server after the lease time expires.
If the number of clients is greater than that of the DHCP address pools and clients
change frequently, modify the value to a shorter period of time. Otherwise, it is
recommended that you retain the default value
1 day .
Subnet Mask It specifies the subnet mask assigned by the DHCP server to clients.
Gateway Address
It specifies the default IP address of the gateway assigned by the DHCP server to
clients, which is generally the IP address of the LAN port of the router.
When clients access servers or hosts beyond the current network segment, the
data must be forwarded by the gateway.
Primary DNS Server
It specifies the primary DNS server IP address assigned by the DHCP server to
clients.
To enable clients to access the internet, set this parameter to a correct DNS server
IP address or DNS proxy IP address.
Secondary DNS
Server It specifies the secondary DNS server IP address assigned by the DHCP server to
clients. This parameter is optional.
