Network Address Server Settings (DHCP)
These settings allow you to configure the Router’s Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server function.
The Router can be used as a DHCP server for your network. A DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address
to each computer on your network. Unless you already have one, it is highly recommended that you leave the
Router enabled as a DHCP server.
Local DHCP Server
. DHCP is enabled by factory default. If you already have a DHCP server on your network, set
the Router’s DHCP option to
Disable
. If you disable DHCP, remember to assign a static IP address to the Router.
Start IP Address
. Enter a value for the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. Because the
default IP address for the Router is 192.168.15.1, the Start IP Address must be 192.168.15. 2 or greater, but
smaller than 192.168.15.254. The default Start IP Address is
192.168.15.100
.
Number of Address
(Optional). Enter the maximum number of PCs that you want the DHCP server to assign IP
addresses to. This number cannot be greater than 253. The default is
50
.
DHCP Address Range
. The range of DHCP addresses is displayed here.
Client Lease Time
. The Client Lease Time is the amount of time a network user will be allowed connection to the
Router with their current dynamic IP address. Enter the amount of time, in minutes, that the user will be “leased”
this dynamic IP address. After the dynamic IP address has expired, the user will be automatically assigned a new
dynamic IP address. The default is
0
minutes, which means one day.
dynamic ip address

address assigned by a DHCP server
