U.S. Robotics SureConnect ADSL Ethernet/USB Router User Guide

 

 

 

Starting IP Address

First IP address provided on a LAN port node’s DHCP

 

 

request.

 

 

 

End IP Address

 

Last IP address in the pool provided on a LAN port

 

 

node’s DHCP request.

 

 

 

Gateway

 

IP address of the Default Gateway or Router that the

 

 

node will use.

 

 

 

Netmask

 

Subnet Mask for the LAN that the node will be on.

 

 

 

DNS

 

Domain Name Server. Actually, here we aren’t referring

 

 

to the DNS itself. Instead, we refer to the IP address of

 

 

the DNS that the node will use. DNS is a server with a

 

 

database. The database translates a domain name into a

 

 

corresponding IP address. For example, “USR.com”

 

 

resolves into IP address 231.222.320.04. Use this

 

 

address to communicate over the LAN between the node

 

 

and USR.com web site.

 

 

 

Lease Time

 

Number of days that the node can use a DHCP lease.

 

 

Subsequently, you must renew the lease with the DHCP

 

 

server.

 

 

 

4.After you complete your configuration, proceed to the Basic Menu and enter 8. The Save & Reboot Menu appears. From this menu, save your changes and reboot the router.

DHCP Server (continued)

DHCP Server Status. Enter 3 at the DHCP Server Menu. The DHCP Server Status Menu appears. This menu displays current DHCP server status. The menu also allows you to enable, disable, or delete DHCP servers.

List DHCP Relay. Enter 4 at the DHCP Server Menu. The List DHCP Relay Menu appears. This menu displays DHCP Relay information.

Configure DHCP Relay. Enter 5 at the DHCP Server Menu. The DHCP Server Status Menu appears. This menu allows you to configure DHCP relay functions. Suppose that a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server resides on a different LAN than the node broadcasting for DHCP service. Then the DHCP broadcast request must be forwarded across the router/WAN to a subnet where a DHCP server resides. To assure receipt of an IP address that corresponds to this subnet, the router relays DHCP. The router must have a record of the DHCP server’s IP address. With this address, the router can direct the request to the DHCP server’s appropriate input IP address.

To configure a DHCP relay, follow these steps…
