Network Settings in the FRITZ!Box
FRITZ!Box 7272

Only one DHCP server may be active within any network.
Assigning the IP addresses via the DHCP server ensures that
all of the computers connected with the FRITZ!Box are located
in the same IP network.
The computers can receive their IPv4 addresses from the DH-
CP server only if the setting “Obtain an IPv4 address automat-
ically” is enabled in the their IP settings. For more informa-
tion, see the chapter
Obtaining an IP Address Automatically
Fixed IPv4 Addresses When the DHCP Server Is Enabled
If you would like to configure fixed IPv4 addresses on individ-
ual computers connected with the FRITZ!Box despite the en-
abled DHCP server, please note the following:
•
The IPv4 addresses must be from the IPv4 network of the
FRITZ!Box.
•
The IPv4 addresses may not come from the address
range of the DHCP server.
•
Each IPv4 address can be assigned only once.
Disabling the DHCP Server
You can disable the DHCP server.
To make sure that all computers remain in the same IP net-
work when the DHCP server is disabled, you must enter the
IPv4 addresses manually in the computers’ network settings.
First disable the option “Obtain an IP address automatically”
and then enter the IP address manually in the appropriate
field.
In the case of the preset IPv4 address of the FRITZ!Box, the
following IPv4 addresses are available for assignment to the
computers:
Here too: each IPv4 address can be assigned only once.
