D-Link DI-308 manual Dynamic IP Pool

DI-308 ISDN Remote Router

Dynamic IP Pool

The Dynamic IP Pool screen shown below contains the parameters that the router can set on the hosts. Please note that the dynamic IP pool cannot be enabled when the DHCP Agent feature is enabled.

The parameters are described below:

•IP Address – This is the base (starting) address for the IP pool of IP addresses to be assigned.

•Range – This is the range of contiguous, IP addresses, above the base IP Address above. In the above example, the IP addresses assigned host computers as they come onto the network would be 202.93.47.1, 202.93.47.2 … 202.93.47.100.

•Netmask – This mask informs the client, how the destination IP address is to be divided into network, subnet and host parts. The netmask has ones in the bit positions in the 32-bit address which are to be used for the network and subnet parts, and zeros for the host part.

•Gateway – This specifies the Gateway IP Address that will be assigned to and used by the DHCP clients.

•Lease Time – This specifies the number of hours a client can lease an IP address, from the dynamically allocated IP pool. The maximum value is 65535 and a value of 0 means the lease is permanent.

•DNS IP – This specifies the Domain Name System server, used by the DHCP clients using leased IP addresses, to translate hostnames into IP addresses or vice- versa.
