means that all the computers connected to this router will get IP address dynamically.
Start of IP Pool IP Address:
displays the start IP Address of the range that will be
assigned to each computer connected with the router.
End of IP Pool IP Address:
displays the ending IP Address of the range that will be
assigned to each computer connected with the router.
Lease Time:
the IP addresses given out by the DHCP server will only be valid for the
duration specified by the lease time. Increasing the time ensure client operation without
interrupt, but could introduce potential conflicts. Lowering the lease time will avoid potential
address conflicts, but might cause more slight interruptions to the client while it will acquire
new IP addresses from the DHCP server. The time is expressed in seconds.
Static Lease (IP/MAC Address)
Static Lease function allows you reserve IP addresses, and assign the same IP address to
the network device with the specified MAC address any time it requests an IP address. This
is almost the same as when a device has a static IP address except that the device must
still request an IP address from the DHCP server. You can enable or disable this function.
Host Name:
this represents the name of your IP address.
IP Address:
displays the IP Address that you want to assign to network device.
MAC Address:
the MAC Address of the computer that reserves the IP address.
