5.6 Configure LAN&DHCP
This function configures the LAN ports
- IP address
- Subnet Mask
- DHCP.
You can choose using DHCP server or not, the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows the Broadband Router to
dynamically assign IP addresses to network devices. Dynamic IP
assignment alleviates the need for the network administrator to maintain
and monitor IP address assignments and simplifies IP use because the
IP addresses are automatically and dynamically assigned when a station
powers-on. You will need to indicate the range of DHCP server and DNS
address if you enable DHCP server function.
You can also reserve some IP’s to specific computers. You need to
enter the name (MAC address) of the network card installed in your
computer to assign a particular IP to it. Enter the relative values and then
click ADD.
When enable DHCP Server in “From”, ”TO” field, you can reserve
up to 253 IP address to DHCP server.
Fill in local DNS Server IP address in “DNS Address” field, you
can ask your local ISP to provide this information.
