DHCP

The Model RP114 router have the capability to act as a DHCP server, allowing them to assign IP,
DNS, and default gateway addresses to attached PCs. The assigned default gateway address is the
LAN address of the router. IP addresses will be assigned to the attached PCs from a pool of
addresses specified in this menu. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid
duplicate addresses on the LAN.
See "IP Configuration by DHCP" on page B-10 for an explanation of DHCP and information
about how to assign IP addresses for your network.
For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are satisfactory. These
default settings are:
• DHCP server enabled with 32 client addresses starting from 192.168.0.1.
