you want to assign a static IP address to a specific computer, click Add Static

 

DHCP.

 

If this field is blank, the Pool Size must also be blank. In this case, the ZyWALL

 

can assign every IP address allowed by the interface’s IP address and subnet

 

mask, except for the first address (network address), last address (broadcast

 

address) and the interface’s IP address.

 

 

Pool Size

Enter the number of IP addresses to allocate. This number must be at least one

 

and is limited by the interface’s Subnet Mask. For example, if the Subnet Mask

 

is 255.255.255.0 and IP Pool Start Address is 10.10.10.10, the ZyWALL can

 

allocate 10.10.10.10 to 10.10.10.254, or 245 IP addresses.

 

If this field is blank, the IP Pool Start Address must also be blank. In this case,

 

the ZyWALL can assign every IP address allowed by the interface’s IP address

 

and subnet mask, except for the first address (network address), last address

 

(broadcast address) and the interface’s IP address.

the following ways to specify these IP addresses.

are currently using.

 

 

Lease time

Specify how long each computer can use the information (especially the IP

 

address) before it has to request the information again. Choices are:

 

infinite - select this if IP addresses never expire.

 

days, hours, and minutes - select this to enter how long IP addresses are

 

valid.

table

 

 

 

 

The ZyWALL checks this table when it assigns IP addresses. If the computer’s

 

MAC address is in the table, the ZyWALL assigns the corresponding IP

 

address. Otherwise, the ZyWALL assigns the IP address dynamically using the

 

IP Pool Start Address and Pool Size.

 

Note: You must click OK in the Static DHCP screen and then
