only assigns IP addresses and their validity to the computers in the
network, but not the other information.
If only one computer in the network is booted and requests an IP address via
DHCP with its network settings, a device with an activated DHCP module will
assign this computer an address. A valid address is taken from the pool as an
IP address. If the computer was already assigned an IP address at some point
in the past, it requests this same address and the DHCP server attempts to
reassign it this address if it has not already been assigned to another
computer.
The DHCP server also checks whether the address selected is still available
in the local network. As soon as the uniqueness of an address has been
established, the requesting computer is assigned the address found.
Netmask assignment
The network mask is assigned in the same way as the address. If a network
mask is entered in the DHCP module, this mask is used for the assignment.
Otherwise, the network mask from the TCP/IP module is used. The order is
the same as during the assignment of the addresses.
Broadcast address assignment
Normally, an address yielded from the valid IP addresses and the network
mask is used for broadcast packets in the local network. In special cases,
however (e.g. when using subnetworks for some of the workstation
computers), it may be necessary to use a different broadcast address. In this
case, the broadcast address to be used is entered in the DHCP module.
The default setting for the broadcast address should be changed by
experienced network specialists only. Incorrect configuration of this section
can result in the undesired establishment of connections subject to connect
charges!
DNS and NBNS assignment
This assignment is based on the associated entries in the 'TCP/IP module'.
If no server is specified in the relevant fields, the router passes its own IP
address as a DNS address. This address is determined as described under 'IP
address assignment'. The router then uses DNS forwarding (also see 'DNS
forwarding'), to resolve DNS or NBNS requests from the host.
