allowingit to assign IP, DNS server, and defaultgateway addresses to all computers connected to
the router'sLAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the router. IP
addresseswill be assigned to the attached PCs from a pool of addresses specified in this menu.
Each pooladdress is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.
