Lan Setup - D-Link DSL-2680 User Manual

Chapter 3 - Setup
You can configure the LAN IP address to suit your preference. Many users will find
it convenient to use the default settings together with DHCP service to manage
the IP settings for their private network. The IP address of the Router is the base
address used for DHCP. In order to use the Router for DHCP on your LAN, the IP
address pool used for DHCP must be compatible with the IP address of the Router.
The IP addresses available in the DHCP IP address pool will change automatically
if you change the IP address of the Router. See the next section for information
on DHCP setup.
To access the LAN Setup menu, click the LAN Setup button in the Setup directory.
To change the LAN IP Address or Subnet Mask, type in the desired values and click
the Save Settings button. Your Web browser should automatically be redirected to
the new IP address. You will be asked to login again to the Router's Web manager.
The DHCP server is enabled by default for the Router's Ethernet LAN interface.
DHCP service will supply IP settings to workstations configured to automatically
obtain IP settings that are connected to the Router though the Ethernet port. When
the Router is used for DHCP it becomes the default gateway for DHCP client
connected to it. Keep in mind that if you change the IP address of the Router the
range of IP addresses in the pool used for DHCP on the LAN will also be changed.
The IP address pool can be up to 253 IP addresses.
There are two options for DHCP service:
y You can use the Router as a DHCP server for your LAN.
y You can disable DHCP service and manually
configure IP settings for workstations.
