Using Address Reservation - NETGEAR TA612V Reference Manual

For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are satisfactory. See
Configuration by DHCP" on
assign IP addresses for your network.
If another device on your network will be the DHCP server, or if you will manually configure the
network settings of all of your computers, clear the 'Use router as DHCP server' check box.
Otherwise, leave it checked.
Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by setting the Starting IP Address and Ending IP
Address. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as the router's LAN IP
address. Using the default addressing scheme, you should define a range between 192.168.61.1
and 192.168.61.253, although you may wish to save part of the range for devices with fixed
addresses.
The router will deliver the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
• An IP Address from the range you have defined
• Subnet Mask
• Gateway IP Address (the router's LAN IP address)
• Primary DNS Server (if you entered a Primary DNS address in the Basic Settings menu;
otherwise, the router's LAN IP address)
• Secondary DNS Server (if you entered a Secondary DNS address in the Basic Settings menu

Using Address Reservation

When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer will always
receive the same IP address each time it access the router's DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses
should be assigned to servers that require permanent IP settings.
To reserve an IP address:
Click Add.
1.
In the IP Address box, type the IP address to assign to the computer or server.
2.
(choose an IP address from the router's LAN subnet, such as 192.168.61.X)
Type the MAC Address of the computer or server.
3.
(Tip: If the computer is already present on your network, you can copy its MAC address from
the Attached Devices menu and paste it here.)
Click Apply to enter the reserved address into the table.
