DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual
clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server.
DHCP :
If set to Disabled , the DHCP server will be disabled.
If set to Enable , your ADSL Modem Series can assign IP addresses, an IP default
gateway and DNS servers to Windows OS and other systems that support the DHCP
client.
If set to Relay , the ADSL Modem Series acts as a surrogate DHCP server and relays
DHCP requests and responses between the remote server and the clients. Enter the IP
address of the actual, remote DHCP server in the Remote DHCP Server field in this
case.
When DHCP is used, the following items need to be set.
Starting IP Address : This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP
address pool.
IP Pool Count : This field specifies the size or count of the IP address pool.
Lease Time : The current lease time of client.
DNS
DNS Relay : You can select either Auto Discovered DNS Server Only or enter the DNS
Server address manually.
Primary DNS Server : Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers. The DNS servers
are passed to the DHCP clients along with the IP address and the subnet mask.
Secondary DNS Server : Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers. The DNS servers
are passed to the DHCP clients along with the IP address and the subnet mask.
