DESCRIPTION

IP Pool Start

Enter the IP address from which the ZyWALL begins allocating IP addresses. If you

Address

want to assign a static IP address to a specific computer, use the Static DHCP Table.

 

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.

 

 

First DNS

Specify the IP addresses up to three DNS servers for the DHCP clients to use. Use one

Server, Second

of the following ways to specify these IP addresses.

DNS Server,

 

Third DNS

Custom Defined - enter a static IP address.

Server

 

 

From ISP - select the DNS server that another interface received from its DHCP

 

server.

 

ZyWALL - the DHCP clients use the IP address of this interface and the ZyWALL works

 

as a DNS relay.

 

 

First WINS

Type the IP address of the WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) server that you

Server, Second

want to send to the DHCP clients. The WINS server keeps a mapping table of the

WINS Server

computer names on your network and the IP addresses that they are currently using.

 

 

 

Default Router

If you set this interface to DHCP Server, you can select to use either the interface’s IP

 

address or another IP address as the default router. This default router will become the

 

DHCP clients’ default gateway.

 

To use another IP address as the default router, select Custom Defined and enter the

 

IP address.

 

 

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.

 

 

Extended

This table is available if you selected DHCP server.

Options

Configure this table if you want to send more information to DHCP clients through

 

 

DHCP packets.
