DHCP Setup Fields

 

 

 

Field

 

Description

 

 

 

DHCP Server:

 

If this box is checked, the router acts as a DHCP server.

 

 

If this box is cleared, the router’s DHCP server is disabled.

 

 

Pool Starting Address

The beginning of the range of IP addresses to assign.

Count

 

The number of sequential addresses available for assignment to

 

 

attached hosts. The maximum is 32.

Primary DNS Server

If you want the router to provide the Primary DNS Server address to

 

 

attached hosts, enter the DNS address in this field. If this field is 0.0.0.0,

 

 

the router assigns its own address as DNS Server, and performs a DNS

 

 

Proxy if it can obtain a DNS address from the ISP.

Secondary DNS Server

to attached hosts, enter the address in this field.

 

 

 

LAN TCP/IP

Table 5-3.

LAN TCP/IP Setup Fields

 

 

 

Field

 

Description

 

 

 

TCP/IP Setup:

 

 

IP Address

 

Enter the IP address of the LAN interface of the router in dotted-decimal

 

 

notation (four 8-bit numbers, between 0 and 255, separated by periods,

 

 

for example, 192.168.0.1). Every device on the TCP/IP network must

 

 

have a unique IP address.

IP Subnet Mask

An IP address consists of two parts, the network ID and the host ID. The

 

 

IP Subnet Mask specifies the network ID portion of the address, written

 

 

in dotted-decimal notation. The router automatically calculates this mask

 

 

for the class of the IP address that you assign. Unless you have a

 

 

special need for subnetting, use the default subnet mask calculated by

 

 

the router. All hosts on the LAN segment should use the same mask.
