8.1.1 DHCP Connection
The DHCP connection method is suitable if the ISP provides an IP address automatically by DHCP (e.g.
Satellite Modem, WiMAX Modem, Cable, Metro Ethernet, etc.).
There are three possible connection methods:
1. DHCP
2. Static IP
3. PPPoE
DHCP Settings
Routing Mode

routable on the destination network
IP Address/
Subnet Mask/
Default Gateway
This information is obtained from the ISP automatically.
DNS Servers
Each ISP may provide a set of DNS servers for DNS lookups. This setting specifies the
DNS (Domain Name System) Servers to be used when a DNS lookup is routed
through this connection.
Selecting Obtain DNS server address automatically results in the DNS Servers to
be assigned by the WAN DHCP Server to be used for outbound DNS lookups over the
connection. (The DNS Servers are obtained along with the WAN IP address assigned
from the DHCP server.)
When Use the following DNS server address(es) is selected, you may enter custom
DNS server addresses for this WAN connection into the DNS Server 1 and DNS
Server 2 fields.
Hostname
(Optional)
If your service provider's DHCP server requires you to supply a hostname value upon
acquiring an IP address, you may enter the value here. If your service provider does
not provide you with the value, you can safely bypass this option.
