Chapter 7 DHCP Server
7.1 DHCP Settings
DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) is to assign an IP
address to the computers on the LAN/private network. When
you enable the DHCP Server, the DHCP Server will allocate
automatically an unused IP address from the IP address pool
to the requesting computer in premise of activating “Obtain
an IP Address Automatically”. So specifying the starting and
ending address of the IP Address pool is needed.
DHCP Server: Activate the checkbox to enable DHCP
server.
IP Address Start/End: Enter the range of IP address
for DHCP server distribution.
Lease Time: The length of the IP address lease.
For example
:
If the lease time is an hour, then DHCP server will reclaim the
IP address in each hour.
