|
DHCP |
| This field determines the mode of DHCP (Dynamic Host | [None] |
|
| Configuration Protocol) support. If set to [None], DHCP will not | (default) |
|
| be used. If it is set to [Server], your Prestige will act as a DHCP |
|
|
| server, capable of automatically assigning IP addresses to |
|
|
| Windows 95, Windows NT, and other systems that support the |
|
|
| DHCP client. |
|
If DHCP=Server: | When DHCP is used, the following four items need to be set: | [Server] | |
Client IP Pool Starting | DHCP can assign IP addresses to hosts dynamically instead of |
| |
| Address | requiring that each system have a fixed IP address. IP |
|
|
| addresses are allocated from a block of addresses, usually |
|
|
| assigned by your Internet provider. The Client IP Pool Starting |
|
|
| Address gives the first address in the reserved block, which is |
|
|
| also used as the LAN network address of the Prestige itself. This |
|
|
| address will also serve as the default gateway for DHCP clients. |
|
Size of Client IP Pool | Gives the size of the block of addresses reserved for DHCP |
| |
|
| address assignment. The Prestige itself uses the first address in |
|
|
| the block, and the remaining addresses in the pool are assigned |
|
|
| to clients. |
|
Primary DNS Server | These two fields are used by DHCP clients (such as Windows |
| |
Secondary DNS | 95 and Windows NT systems) for Domain Name Servers. |
| |
Server |
| Usually your Internet provider will provide one or more name |
|
|
| service hosts. |

Note on DHCP
Once you have determined the IP address range for your local network, you may want to use DHCP to assign addresses to individual hosts on the network, as an alternative to manually configuring the IP setting for each host.
