Setting Up the DHCP Server or DHCP Relay

Use the DHCP > DHCP Setup page to configure this router as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server or as a DHCP relay agent.

A DHCP server automatically assigns available IP addresses to computers on your network. An address is “leased” to a client for a specified time, and then it expires and can be assigned to a different device. If a device needs to have an unchanging IP addresses, you can add the device to the Static IP list. Optionally, you can use the Static IP list to block access by devices that are not on the list or do not have the correct IP address.

If you have another DHCP server on your network, or if you want to assign IP addresses manually, you can disable the DHCP feature and enable DHCP Relay. For more information, see Enabling DHCP Server and DHCP Relay, page 64.

NOTE DHCP Relay is available only on the IPv4 tab. DHCPv6 Relay is not available.
