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.Modem.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”..
