DHCP > DHCP Server
This page is to configure the properties of the Router’s built-in DHCP Server. Take note that the
built-in DHCP Server distributes IP Addresses to both the LAN ports and the WLAN clients.
Enable DHCP Server: Tick to enable the built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
Server. When enabled, the Router will provide IP addresses to the computers connected to the
router.
IP Address pool: When ‘System Define’ is selected, router will assign IP address automatically
from the pre-defined pool. If ‘User Define’ is selected, you would have to define the range of the
pool manually.
IP Address pool (For User Defined only), Start Address: This is the start address of the DHCP
pool. The router will assign this to the first computer connected to the router.
IP Address pool (For
User Defined only), End Address: This is the end address that the router
will assign to the computers connected to the router.
Lease Time: The amount of time a network computer will be allowed to connect with the DHCP
Server. By default, the lease time is 2880 minutes.
DHCP Server Reserved Entries: This feature allows you to reserve up to 8 LAN IP Addresses.
These addresses can be assigned to your Servers, so that they always get the same IP Address
when they boot up. Fill up the table by order of ID.
ID: Tick to enable this reservation.
MAC Address: Enter the MAC Address of the Server, so that the Router can identify your Server
properly. The format for the MAC address is aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff.
IP Address: Enter the IP Address that you want to reserve for your Server.
