Advanced Setup
•LAN IP – Use the LAN menu to configure the LAN IP address for the Barricade Router and to enable the DHCP server for dynamic client address allocation.
•Set a period for the lease time if required. For home networks this may be set to Forever, which means there is no time limit on the IP address lease.
•IP Address Pool – A dynamic IP start address may be specified by the user, e.g. 192.168.2.100 (default value). Once this start IP address has been assigned, IP addresses running from 192.168.2.100 to 192.168.2.199 will be part of the dynamic IP address pool. IP addresses from 192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.99, and 192.168.2.200 to 192.168.2.254 will be available as static IP addresses.
Remember not to include the address of the Barricade Router in the client address pool. Also remember to configure your client PCs for dynamic IP address allocation.
