DHCP Connection Setup

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows the router to automatically obtain the IP address from the server. This option is commonly used in situations where IP is dynamically assigned and is not known prior to assignment.

To configure the router for a DHCP connection:

Procedure

1.Click on Setup and then click on New Connection. The default PPPoE connection setup is displayed.

2.At the Type field, select DHCP. The DHCP connection setup page is displayed.

3.Give your DHCP connection a unique name. The name must not have spaces and cannot begin with numbers.

4.Select a PVC Sharing type of Disable, Enable, or VLAN.

5.Select or enter a VPI and VCI (as supplied by your DSL service provider or your ISP), or click in Auto PVC. (Auto PVC causes the router to perform automatic VPI/VCI detection as defined in DSL forum TR-068.) For VLAN, specify a VLAN ID and priority.

6.Select NAT and Firewall if you want them active for this connection. Firewall and NAT services must be enabled. See Firewall/NAT Services on page 3-22.
