Table 41 DHCP Setup
LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
DHCP Setup |
|
|
|
DHCP | If set to Server, your ZyXEL Device can assign IP addresses, an IP default |
| gateway and DNS servers to Windows 95, Windows NT and other systems that |
| support the DHCP client. |
| If set to None, the DHCP server will be disabled. |
| If set to Relay, the ZyXEL Device acts as a surrogate DHCP server and relays |
| DHCP requests and responses between the remote server and the clients. |
| Enter the IP address of the actual, remote DHCP server in the Remote DHCP |
| Server field in this case. |
| When DHCP is used, the following items need to be set: |
|
|
IP Pool Starting | This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool. |
Address |
|
|
|
Pool Size | This field specifies the size, or count of the IP address pool. |
|
|
Remote DHCP | If Relay is selected in the DHCP field above then enter the IP address of the |
Server | actual remote DHCP server here. |
|
|
DNS Server |
|
|
|
DNS Servers | The ZyXEL Device passes a DNS (Domain Name System) server IP address to |
Assigned by DHCP | the DHCP clients. |
Server |
|
|
|
Primary DNS Server | This field is not available when you set DHCP to Relay. |
Secondary DNS | Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers. The DNS servers are passed to the |
Server | DHCP clients along with the IP address and the subnet mask. |
| If the fields are left as 0.0.0.0, the ZyXEL Device acts as a DNS proxy and |
| forwards the DHCP client’s DNS query to the real DNS server learned through |
| IPCP and relays the response back to the computer. |
|
|
Apply | Click Apply to save your changes to the ZyXEL Device. |

8.5 LAN Client List
This table allows you to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers based on their MAC Addresses.
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
To change your ZyXEL Device’s static DHCP settings, click Network > LAN > Client List. The screen appears as shown.
