DHCP Setup

 

 

 

DHCP

Select what type of DHCP services the ZyXEL Device provides to the network.

 

Choices are:

 

None - the ZyXEL Device does not provide any DHCP services. There is

 

already a DHCP server on the network.

 

DHCP Relay - the ZyXEL Device routes DHCP requests to the DHCP server.

 

There may be a DHCP server on another network.

 

DHCP Server - the ZyXEL Device assigns IP addresses and provides subnet

 

mask, gateway, and DNS server information to the network. The ZyXEL Device

 

is the DHCP server for the network.

IP Pool Starting

This field is enabled if the ZyXEL Device is a DHCP Server. Enter the first of the

Address

contiguous addresses in the IP address pool.

Pool Size

This field is enabled if the ZyXEL Device is a DHCP Server. Enter the size of, or

 

the number of addresses in, the IP address pool.

Remote DHCP

This field is enabled if the ZyXEL Device is a DHCP Relay. Enter the IP address

Server

of the DHCP server to which the ZyXEL Device should route requests.

DNS Server

 

 

 

DNS Servers

The ZyXEL Device passes a DNS (Domain Name System) server IP address to

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 back to the ZyXEL Device.

 

 

Reset

Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh.

 

 

5.5 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.
