D-Link DVA-G3340S manual Dynamic IP Address Connection for WAN, Home WAN Dynamic IP Address

Dynamic IP Address Connection for WAN
Home > WAN > Dynamic IP Address
A Dynamic IP Address
connection configures the
Router to automatically
obtain its global IP address
from a DHCP server on the
ISP’s network. The service
provider assigns a global IP
address from a pool of
addresses available to the
service provider. Typically
the IP address assigned has
a long lease time, so it will
likely be the same address
each time the Router
requests an IP address.
To configure a Dynamic IP
Address connection,
perform the steps listed
below. Some of the settings
do not need to be changed
the first time the device is
set up, but can be changed
later if you choose. See the
table below for a description
of all the settings available
in this menu.	WAN Settings for Dynamic IP Address Connection
