4.4.1.4 DHCP Connection Setup
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows the ADSL Router to automatically obtain the IP address from the server. This option is commonly used in situations where IP is dynamically assigned and is not known prior to assignment.
To configure the ADSL Router for a DHCP connection, click on Setup and then click on New Connection. The default DHCP connection setup is displayed. At the Type field select DHCP and the DHCP connection setup page is displayed; figure 7 illustrates a typical DHCP configuration. Give your DHCP connection a unique name; the name must not have spaces and cannot begin with numbers. In this case the unique name is called DHCP1. Select the encapsulation type (LLC or VC); if you are not sure just use the default mode. Select the VPI and VCI settings; your DSL service provider or your ISP will supply these; in this case the DSL service provider is using 0,100. Also select the quality of service (QOS); leave the default value if you are unsure or the ISP did not provide this information.
If your DSL line is connected and your DSL/IPS provider is supporting DHCP, you can click the renew button and the gateway will retrieve an IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway address. At anytime, you can renew the DHCP address by clicking on the renew button; in most cases you will never have to use this button.
