enable dhcp
Description: This command enables the Dynamic Host Control Protocol server functionality within
the router. When enabled, the router will service a client request for IP address and net mask
assignment, as well as assignments of default gateway, DNS server addresses, WINS server addresses
and NetBIOS Node Type. The pool of addresses from which the router selects is defined in the table
above.. The default is 192.168.168.230, unless re-configured with the “set ip private…” command (or
its HTTP equivalent). The term of the lease is 10 hours. The factory default is enabled.
⊕set dhcp Description: This command configures the global parameters to be supplied to all requesting DHCP
clients. Note that the DHCP service can also be enabled or disabled from this command.
Example:
Router> set dhcp
enable DHCP (Yes, Yes/No): yes
configure WINS server (No, Yes/No): yes
enter primary WINS server address (Unspecified): 63.221.98.5
enter secondary WINS server address (Unspecified): 63.221.98.7
enter NetBIOS node type (none, none/b/p/m/h): h

⊕set range Description: This command sets the bounds for dynamic assignment of IP addresses to both DHCP
clients and dial in users. A dialog ensues wherein the user is asked first to enter the upper bound
address, and then the lower bound address. The default upper bound is the highest address in the
configured private IP subnet. For example, if the configured private IP subnet is
192.168.168.0/255.255.255.0, then the default upper bound for dynamic assignment is
192.168.168.254. The default lower bound is the high address less 253, which, in our example, is
192.168.168.1. Any address lower than the lower bound is not assigned automatically by the router to
requesting DHCP clients or dial-in users and may be used for manual configuration of a LAN device
(unless used by another router elsewhere on the LAN).
The administrator may alter these addresses to any address that is valid within the configured private
IP subnet. The upper bound address must be greater than the lower bound address.
Note that dial in users will be assigned addresses in pairs.
The router will check before assignment of any dynamic address to ensure that it is not in use
elsewhere in the network.
If the router’s private IP network is modified, the range values that are in conflict with the new IP
network settings will revert to the above mentioned defaults until manually altered by the
administrator.

Router> set range
