DESCRIPTION

Static DHCP Table

 

 

 

#

This is the index number of the static IP table entry (row).

 

 

MAC Address

Type the MAC address (with colons) of a computer on your LAN.

 

 

IP Address

Type the LAN IP address of a computer on your LAN.

 

 

DNS Server

 

 

 

DNS Servers

The NBG-418N passes a DNS (Domain Name System) server IP address (in the order

Assigned by DHCP

you specify here) to the DHCP clients. If you do not configure the DNS server, the DHCP

Server

service is disabled and you must have another DHCP sever on your LAN, or else the

 

computers must have their DNS server addresses manually configured.

 

 

First DNS Server

Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information (and the NBG-

Second DNS Server

418N’s WAN IP address). The field to the right displays the (read-only) DNS server IP

address that the ISP assigns.

 

Select User-Definedif you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS server's

 

IP address in the field to the right. If you chose User-Defined, but leave the IP address

 

set to 0.0.0.0, User-Definedchanges to None after you click Apply. If you set a

 

second choice to User-Defined, and enter the same IP address, the second User-

 

Defined changes to None after you click Apply.

 

Select DNS Relay to have the NBG-418N act as a DNS proxy. The NBG-418N's LAN IP

 

address displays in the field to the right (read-only). The NBG-418N tells the DHCP

 

clients on the LAN that the NBG-418N itself is the DNS server. When a computer on the

 

LAN sends a DNS query to the NBG-418N, the NBG-418N forwards the query to the

 

NBG-418N's system DNS server (configured in the WAN > Internet Connection

 

screen) and relays the response back to the computer. You can only select DNS Relay

 

for one of the three servers; if you select DNS Relay for a second or third DNS server,

 

that choice changes to None after you click Apply.

 

 

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes back to the NBG-418N.

 

 

Reset

Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh.
