DHCP

DHCP Configuration Window

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows the Router to dynamically assign IP addresses to network devices. Dynamic IP assignment eliminates the need for the network administrator to maintain and monitor IP address assignments and simplifies IP use because IP address are automatically and dynamically assigned when a computer is powered-on.

Important Note: If you use DHCP to set your local IP addresses, the software IP settings of all stations on the network will need to be manually configured to 0.0.0.0., or, as in the case of Windows 95 users, the “Obtain an IP address automatically” option under TCP/IP will have to be selected.

Start IP Address

This is the base (starting) address for the IP pool of unassigned IP addresses.

End IP Address

This is the last address of the contiguous IP address range to be used by the Router for DHCP function.

Netmask

This mask informs the client how the destination IP address is to be divided into network, subnet, and host parts.

Default Gateway

This specifies the Gateway IP Address that will be assigned to and used by the DHCP clients.
