The Netopia Firmware Version 5.4 includes a number of enhancements in the built-in DHCP IP address server. These enhancements include:

The ability to exclude one or more IP addresses from the address serving pool so the addresses will not be served to clients.

The ability to reserve a particular IP address for a client with a particular Ethernet MAC address.

The ability to view the host name associated with a client to which the router has leased an IP address.

The ability for the router’s Ethernet IP address(es) to overlap the DHCP address serving pool(s).

The ability to serve as a DHCP Relay Agent.

The Netopia Firmware Version 5.4 supports reserving an IP address only for a type 1 client identifier (i.e., an Ethernet hardware address). It does not support reserving an IP address for an arbitrary client identifier. (For more information on client identifiers, see RFC 2131, section 9.14.)
