Field or Button Description
Enable DHCP Server If selected, the DHCP server on the gateway assigns
IP addresses to the computers and other hosts on
your network if they have DHCP enabled. By default,
the gateway server is enabled. If there is another
DHCP server running on your network (on another
router), disable one of the DHCP servers.
DHCP Server IP Address Enter the default port forwarding LAN Client IP
Address.
DHCP Starting IP Address Sets the first IP address assigned by the DHCP
server, in dotted-decimal format. It must be greater
than the IP address value of the gateway. For
example, if the IP address of the gateway is
192.168.15.1(default), the starting IP address must
be 192.168.15.2 (or higher).
DHCP Ending IP Address Sets the final IP address assigned by the DHCP
server. If the DHCP server runs out of DHCP
addresses, users cannot access network resources. If
this happens, increase the Ending IP or reduce the
Lease Time.
DHCP Lease Time Sets the time, in seconds, that a network computer
remains connected to the gateway using its current
assigned IP address. At the end of this time, the
DHCP server renews the lease or assigns the
computer a new IP address. The default is 3600
seconds (one hour). The maximum is 999999
seconds (about 278 hours).
