USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE

3. DHCP Server
The DHCP server function makes setting up a network very easy by
assigning IP addresses to each computer on the network automatically.
The default setting is “On”. The DHCP server can be turned OFF if
necessary, however, in order to do so you must manually set a static IP
address for each computer on your network. To turn off the DHCP server,
select “Off” and click “Apply Changes”.
4. IP Pool
The range of IP addresses set aside for dynamic assignment to the
computers on your network. The default is 2–100 (99 computers). If you
want to change this number, you can do so by entering a new starting
and ending IP address and clicking on “Apply Changes”. The DHCP server
can assign 100 IP addresses automatically. This means that you cannot
specify an IP address pool larger than 100 computers. For example,
starting at 50 means you have to end at 150 or lower so as not to exceed
the 100-client limit. The starting IP address must be lower in number
than the ending IP address.
5. Lease Time
The length of time the DHCP server will reserve the IP address for each
computer. We recommend that you leave the lease time set to “Forever”.
The default setting is “Forever”, meaning that any time a computer is
assigned an IP address by the DHCP server, the IP address will not change
for that particular computer. Setting lease times for shorter intervals such
as one day or one hour frees IP addresses after the specified period of
time. This also means that a particular computer’s IP address may change
over time. If you have set any of the other advanced features of the
Router such as DMZ or client IP filters, these are dependent on the IP
address. For this reason, you will not want the IP address to change.
6. Local Domain Name
The default setting is “Belkin”. You can set a local domain name (network
name) for your network. There is no need to change this setting unless
you have a specific advanced need to do so. You can name the network
anything you want such as “MY NETWORK”.
