DESCRIPTION
Select this to let the ZyXEL Device assign IP addresses and provides subnet mask,
gateway, and DNS server information to the network. If you clear this, there should
be another DHCP server on the network, or this information must be set up
manually on each computer on the network.
Enter the IP address from which the ZyXEL Device begins allocating IP addresses.
You can assign a static IP address to a specific computer; see Network > DHCP
Server > Static DHCP.
Enter the number of IP addresses to allocate. This number must be at least one and
is limited by the subnet mask 255.255.255.0. For example, if the IP Pool Start
Address is 10.10.10.10, the ZyXEL Device can allocate up to 10.10.10.254, or 245
IP addresses.
The ZyXEL Device provides the following DNS servers to DHCP clients.
