Start IP Address: Enter a value of the IP address pool for the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. If the 2nd IP address of your router is 220.135.240.1, the starting IP address must be 220.135.240.2 or greater, but smaller than 220.135.240.254.

IP Pool Counts: Enter the number of IP addresses in the pool. The maximum is 10. For example, if you type 3 and the 2nd IP address of your router is 220.135.240.1, the range of IP address by the DHCP server will be from 220.135.240.2 to 220.135.240.11.

MAC Address: Enter the MAC Address of the host one by one and click Add to create a list of hosts to be assigned, deleted or edited IP address from above pool. Set a list of MAC Address for

2nd DHCP server will help router to assign the correct IP address of the correct subnet to the correct host. So those hosts in 2nd subnet won’t get an IP address belonging to 1st subnet.

RIP Protocol Control Disable deactivates the RIP protocol. It will lead to a stoppage of the exchange of routing information between routers. (Default)

 

1st Subnet - Select the router to change the RIP information of the

 

1st subnet with neighboring routers.

 

2nd Subnet - Select the router to change the RIP information of

 

the 2nd subnet with neighboring routers.

DHCP Server

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The

Configuration

router by factory default acts a DHCP server for your network so it

 

automatically dispatch related IP settings to any local user

 

configured as a DHCP client. It is highly recommended that you

 

leave the router enabled as a DHCP server if you do not have a

 

DHCP server for your network.

 

If you want to use another DHCP server in the network other than

 

the Vigor Router’s, you can let Relay Agent help you to redirect the

 

DHCP request to the specified location.

 

Enable Server - Let the router assign IP address to every host in

 

the LAN.

 

Disable Server – Let you manually assign IP address to every host

 

in the LAN.

 

Relay Agent – (1st subnet/2nd subnet) Specify which subnet that

 

DHCP server is located the relay agent should redirect the DHCP

 

request to.

 

Start IP Address - Enter a value of the IP address pool for the

 

DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. If the 1st IP

 

address of your router is 192.168.1.1, the starting IP address must

 

be 192.168.1.2 or greater, but smaller than 192.168.1.254.

 

IP Pool Counts - Enter the maximum number of PCs that you

 

want the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to. The default is 50

 

and the maximum is 253.

 

Gateway IP Address - Enter a value of the gateway IP address for

 

the DHCP server. The value is usually as same as the 1st IP address
