•
Start IP Address: The first IP address that may be assigned to a LAN host.
Since the device's default IP address is 192.168.2.1, this address must be
192.168.2.2 or greater.
•
End IP Address: The last IP address in the range that can be used to
automatically assign IP addresses to LAN hosts.
•
Subnet Mask: A mask used to determine to what subnet an IP address belongs.
•
Lease Time In Minutes: Each device is assigned an IP address by the DHCP
server for this amount of time when it connects to the network. When the lease
expires, the server determines if the computer has disconnected from the
network. If it has, the server may reassign this IP address to a newly-connected
computer. This feature ensures that IP addresses that are not in use become
available for other computers on the network.
•
Provide Host Name If Not Specified by Client: If the DHCP client does not
have a host name, the device automatically assigns one for him

DHCP Relay: The device can act as a DHCP relay in case you would like to
dynamically assign IP addresses from a DHCP server other than device's DHCP
server.
Note: When selecting this option, you must also change the device's WAN to work in
Routing mode.
