Configuring DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Protocol Configuration) is enabled by default on
the router, which allows the router to act as a DHCP server and
automatically assign an IP address to each device on the network.
DHCP is a set of rules used by devices such as a computer, router, or
network adapter to allow the device to request and obtain an IP address
from a server, which maintains a list of addresses available for use. The
DHCP server ensures that all IP addresses are unique, e.g., no IP address
is assigned to a second device while the first device's assignment is valid
(its lease has not expired).
Without DHCP, the IP addresses must be entered manually at each
computer or device and a new IP address must be entered each time it
moves to a new location on the network.
Configuring DHCP for IPv4
Perform the following steps to configure DHCP for IPv4.
1.
Access and sign in to the configuration interface.
2.
Click the LAN Setup tab.
3.
Click LAN Settings (IPv4) in the side menu to display the LAN
Settings screen.
4.
Click the Enable DHCP Server checkbox under DHCP Server
Settings.
