DHCP Lease Time: The amount of time each device is given a specific IP is decided by the DHCP lease time.
After the Lease Time expires, the DHCP server will assign another IP address to the device.
Set Static DHCP: This allows specific devices to be given a specific IP address each time the device connects to
the network. The DHCP server will always assign the same IP address to the same device. This feature is often
used for shared devices such as network printers or servers.
802.1d Spanning Type (STP): A network protocol that ensures a loop-free topology for networks that have
Ethernet bridges. The STP prevents bridge loops and allows a network design to include redundant links to
provide automatic backup paths if active links fails.
Clone MAC Address: The High Power Router can use a MAC address that you define as its own. This is often
used when an Internet Provider only authorizes one MAC address to access the Internet. Cloning the MAC
address will make it so that the cloned MAC address is the only MAC address seen by the Internet Provider.
