CONFIGURATION : LAN Setup : Advanced DHCP Server Options
For instructions on basic LAN setup within the router, please refer to Chapter 4, part 2. In
this portion, we shall examine the Advanced DHCP Server Options available to the
network administrator.
You can easily manage your network’s IP address allocation with the built-in DHCP server
found on the router. Once set up as described in Chapter 4, it will automatically and
dynamically allocate addresses from a pool, to devices or computers connected to the
network. To learn more about DHCP, please turn to the DHCP Technology Primer found
on the Product CD.
Under the Advanced DHCP Server Options, we will discuss making DHCP Server
reservations for specific IP and MAC addresses. As illustrated below, this feature is useful in
situations when you have to set up a publicly accessible FTP/HTTP server that resides within
a private LAN. It will require a fixed IP address, but at the same time, your private LAN
comprises a group of PCs whose IP address allocations you want the DHCP Server to
manage dynamically.
Hence, with the ability to make IP reservations, you can assign a fixed IP to your FTP/HTTP
server and then inform the DHCP Server not to assign this IP in its dynamic allocation.
