Use The Wifi Dsl Modem Router As A Dhcp Server - NETGEAR D6200 User Manual

- RIP-2 carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing data in
RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting. RIP-2M uses multicasting.
Use Router as DHCP Server
This check box is selected so that the WiFi DSL modem router functions as a Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.
• Starting IP Address. Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the
same subnet as the WiFi DSL modem router.
• Ending IP Address. Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the
same subnet as the WiFi DSL modem router.
For more information, see
Address Reservation
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer receives
the same IP address each time it accesses the WiFi DSL modem router's DHCP server.
Assign reserved IP addresses to servers that require permanent IP settings. For more
information, see Address Reservation

Use the WiFi DSL Modem Router as a DHCP Server

By default, the WiFi DSL modem router functions as a DHCP server, allowing it to assign IP,
DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the WiFi DSL
modem router's LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the WiFi
DSL modem router. The WiFi DSL modem router assigns IP addresses to the attached
computers from a pool of addresses specified in this screen. Each pool address is tested
before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN. For most applications, the
default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the WiFi DSL modem router are satisfactory.
You can specify the pool of IP addresses that are assigned by setting the starting IP address
and ending IP address. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as
the WiFi DSL modem router's LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, you
should define a range between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254, although you might want to
save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.
The WiFi DSL modem router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that
requests DHCP:
• An IP address from the range you defined
• Subnet mask
• Gateway IP address (the WiFi DSL modem router's LAN IP address)
• Primary DNS server (if you entered a primary DNS address in the Internet Setup screen;
otherwise, the WiFi DSL modem router's LAN IP address)
• Secondary DNS server (if you entered a secondary DNS address in the Internet Setup
screen)
