Section 3 - Configuration

DHCP

DHCP Server: Once the router is properly configured and this DHCP Server option is enabled, the DHCP Server will manage the IP addresses and other network configuration information for computers and other devices connected to the Local Area Network. There is no need for you to do this yourself.

The computers (and other devices) connected to your LAN also need to have their TCP/IP configuration set to “DHCP” or “Obtain an IP address automatically”.

DHCP IP Address These two IP values (from and to) define Range: a range of IP addresses that the DHCP Server uses when assigning addresses to computers and devices on your Local Area Network. Any addresses that are outside of this range are not managed by the DHCP Server; these could, therefore, be used for manually configured devices or devices that cannot use DHCP to obtain network address

details automatically.

Lease Time: The amount of time that a computer may have an IP address before it is required to renew the lease. The lease functions just as a lease on an apartment would. The initial lease designates the amount of time before the lease expires. If the tenant wishes to retain the address when the lease is expired then a new lease is established. If the lease expires and the address is no longer needed than another tenant may use the address.
