6.3.2
DHCP Server
The DHCP server is the router side service that can automatically configure the TCP/IP settings of any device that
requests such a service. If you connect a device that has been configured to obtain IP address automatically the DHCP
server will lease an address and the device will be able to fully communicate with the router.
6.3.2.1
General Setup
Field Name
Sample value
Explanation
1. DHCP
Enable/Disable
Manage DHCP server
2. Start
100
The starting address of the range that the DHCP server can use to give out
to devices. E.g.: if your LAN IP is 192.168.2.1 and your subnet mask is
255.255.255.0 that means that in your network a valid IP address has to be
in the range of [192.168.2.1 – 192.168.2.254](192.168.2.0 and
192.168.2.255 are special unavailable addresses). If the Start value is set to
100 then the DHCP server will only be able to lease out addresses starting
from 192.168.2.100
3. Limit
150
How many addresses the DHCP server gets to lease out. Continuing on the
above example: if the start address is 192.168.2.100 then the end address
will be 192.168.2.254 (100 + 150 – 1 = 254).
4. Lease time
12
How long can a leased IP be considered valid. An IP address after the
specified amount of time will expire and the device that leased it out will
have to request for a new one. Select Hour or Minute (minimum 2min).
