LABEL DESCRIPTION
LAN IP Rule
IP Address Enter the IPv4 address of your NBG7815 in dotted decimal notation.
IP Subnet Mask The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your NBG7815 will
automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP address that you assign. Unless
you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet mask computed by the NBG7815.
DHCP Server
Note: This is not available if you are using bridge mode.
DHCP Server Select Enable to activate DHCP for LAN.
Select Disable to stop the NBG7815 from acting as a DHCP server.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual
clients (computers) to obtain TCP/IP configuration at startup from a server. Enable the DHCP
server unless your ISP instructs you to do otherwise. When configured as a server, the
NBG7815 provides TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If not, DHCP service is disabled and
you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computers must be manually
configured. When set as a server, fill in the following four fields.
IP Pool Starting
Address This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IPv4 address pool for LAN.
