Start IP Address:

This field specifies the lowest and highest addresses in the pool,

End IP Address:

up to a maximum range of 254 addresses. For example, if the

LAN port is assigned IP address 192.168.1.1, then you could

 

 

create a pool with address range 192.168.1.2 – 192.168.1.254

 

for distribution to your LAN computers.

 

 

Mac Address

A MAC address is a manufacturer-assigned hardware ID that

 

is unique for each device on a network. Use this field only if you

 

want to assign a specific IP address to the computer that uses

 

this MAC address. If you type a MAC address here, you must

 

have specified the same IP address in both the [Start IP

 

Address:] and [End IP Address:] fields.
