LAN TCP/IP Setup
•
IP Address
. The LAN IP address of the gateway.
•
IP Subnet Mask
. The LAN subnet mask of the gateway. When combined with the IP
address, the IP subnet mask allows a device to know the following:
-
Which other addresses are local to it
-
Which other addresses have to be reached through a gateway
Use Router as a DHCP Server
This check box is selected so that the gateway functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) server.
•
Starting IP Address
. Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the
same subnet as the gateway.
•
Ending IP Address
. Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the
same subnet as the gateway.
Address Reservation
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer receives
the same IP address each time it accesses the DHCP server of the gateway. Assign reserved
IP addresses to servers that require permanent IP settings.
Use the Gateway as a DHCP Server
By default, the gateway functions as a DHCP server. This capability allows the gateway to
assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the LAN
that is connected to the gateway. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address
of the gateway. The gateway assigns IP addresses to the attached computers from a pool of
addresses that are specified in this screen. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned
to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN. For most applications, the default DHCP and
TCP/IP settings of the gateway are satisfactory.
You can specify the pool of IP addresses that can be assigned by setting the starting IP
address and ending IP address. These addresses are part of the same IP address subnet as
the LAN that is connected to the gateway. Using the default addressing scheme, you define a
range between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254. You can save part of the range for devices
with fixed addresses.
The gateway delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
•
An IP address from the range you have defined
•
Subnet mask
•
Gateway IP address (the LAN IP address of the gateway)
