3.Complete the following fields:

•Start IP Address Range, End IP Address Range - determines the number of hosts connected to the network in this subnet. “Start” specifies the first IP address assigned in this subnet and “End” specifies the last IP address in the range.

•Subnet Mask - used to determine to which subnet an IP address belongs. An example of a subnet mask value is 255.255.0.0.

•WINS Server - The WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) server determines the IP address associated with a network device.

•Lease Time - each device will be assigned an IP address by the DHCP server for a limited time (“Lease Time”) when it connects to the network. When the lease expires, the server will determine if the computer has disconnected from the network. If it has, the server may reassign this IP address to a newly-connected computer. This feature ensures that IP addresses not in use will become available for other computers on the network.

•Provide host name if not specified by client - when activated, the Router assigns the client a default name if the DHCP client does not have a host name.
