Address settings. Your modem's DHCP
server will assign the IP addresses in this
range at random to the computers and
devices in your network. Note that the
Start and End IP Addresses must both
be in the same subnet as the IP Address,
above.
End IP Address The last IP address of a range that you
specify using the Start and End IP
Address settings. Your modem’s DHCP
server will assign numbers from this
range at random to the computers and
devices in your network. By default the
DHCP server has 253 addresses
available to assign. If you plan on
attaching more than 253 devices to your
network, change the ending IP address
to allow for more devices. Note that the
Start and End IP Addresses must both
be in the same subnet as the IP Address,
above.
Subnet Mask This is the subnet mask for your
network.
Leased Time
(hour)
The maximum amount of time, in
hours, that a network device will have
the temporary IP address before a new
one is issued by the modem’s DHCP
server.
Configuring Fixed DHCP
Mapping
Fixed DHCP mapping is used when you want the modem to
always assign the same IP address to a computer or gaming device.
You would want to do this if you were setting up a virtual server or
DMZ using this device.
