Configuring DHCP Server

Excluding IP addresses from a pool

If you have IP addresses that are designated for fixed use with specific devices, or if for some other reason you do not want to make them available to your network, you can exclude them from the pool. Display the [DHCP Server Pool – Modify] page, as shown in Figure 12. Type each address to be excluded

in the [Excluded IP] field, and click [Add]. When you are done specifying excluded addresses, click [Submit], and then use the [Commit] function to save your changes to the permanent memory (see Committing your changes on page 30).

Viewing current DHCP address assignments

When the ADSL Barricade functions as a DHCP server for your LAN, it keeps a record of any addresses currently leased to your computers. To view a table of all current IP address assignments, display the [DHCP Server Address Table] page, and then click [Address Table].
