Table 7-5.	Menu 3.2 - TCP/IP and DHCP Setup Fields
Field		Description
DHCP:		If set to Server, the router acts as a DHCP server.
		If set to None, the router’s DHCP server is disabled.
DHCP Configuration:
Client IP Pool Starting		This field is the beginning of the range of addresses to assign.
Address
Size of Client IP Pool		This field is 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		If you want the router to assign the Secondary DNS Server address
		to attached hosts, enter the address in this field.
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.
