5.4 DHCP server

Using DHCP brings two main benefits. First, the administration is much easier than with the other protocols as all settings may be done at the server (it is not necessary to configure individual workstations). Second, many network conflicts are eliminated (i.e. one IP address cannot be assigned to more than one workstation, etc.).

DHCP Server Configuration

To configure the DHCP server in WinRoute go to Configuration DHCP Server. Here you can define IP scopes, reservations or optional parameters, and view information about occupied IP addresses or statistics of the DHCP server.

The DHCP server can be enabled/disabled using the DHCP Server enabled option (at the top). Configuration can be modified even when the DHCP server is disabled.

Definition of Scopes and Reservations

To define scopes including optional parameters and to reserve IP addresses for selected clients go to the Scopes dialog. The tab includes two parts — in one address scopes and in the other reservations are defined:
