LABEL DESCRIPTION
DHCP Mode Select DHCP server from the drop-down list to have the NBG-418N v2 act as a DHCP
server. Otherwise, select None. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC
2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients (computers) to obtain TCP/IP
configuration at startup from a server. Choose DHCP Server option unless your ISP
instructs you to do otherwise. Choose None to disable the NBG-418N v2 acting as a
DHCP server. When configured as a server, the NBG-418N v2 provides TCP/IP
configuration for the clients. If not, DHCP service is disabled and you must have
another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computers must be manually
configured. When set as a server, fill in the following four fields.
IP Pool Range This field specifies the range of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool for
LAN.
Max Lease Time This field specifies the Maximum time interval the device can be idle before the IP
address on the LAN link is disconnected. Default is 120 minutes, maximum is 525600
minutes
DNS Sever1 Type the First DNS server IP address of the DHCP server.
DNS Sever2 Type the Second DNS server IP address of the DHCP server.
