Dhcp Setting - Huawei EchoLife HG520 User Manual

4.3.4 DHCP Setting

DHCP is short for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is for
assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With
dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address every
time it connects to the network. Dynamic addressing simplifies
network administration because the software keeps track of IP
addresses rather than requiring an administration to manage the task.
This means that a new computer can be added to a network without
the hassle of manually assigning it a unique IP address.
1) DHCP Server
You can configure the DHCP server on the HG520 device for an
efficient dynamic addressing.
On the DHCP Server Settings page, enter the Start IP address, the
End IP address, and the lease time. Single click Submit button to
complete the configuration. Lease time refers to the time frame that
you are allowed to use the assigned IP address. You will have to file
application for a new IP address once the lease time expires.
Click Refresh to renew the DHCP Server settings you just made.
