Dhcp - D-Link DSL-G604T User Manual

DHCP

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.
To display the DHCP Settings window, click the DHCP button in the Home directory. Any active DHCP Clients
appear at the bottom of the window in the DHCP Clients List. The IP address and MAC address for active DHCP
clients are displayed in the list.
The two options for DHCP service are as follows:
You may use the Router as a DHCP server for your LAN.
You can disable DHCP service and manually configure IP settings for workstations.
You may also configure DNS settings for the LAN when using the Router in DHCP mode. In Auto DNS Mode,
the Router will automatically relay DNS settings to properly configured DHCP clients. To manually enter DNS IP
addresses, select the Manual DNS Mode option and type in a Primary and Secondary DNS IP Address in the
field provided. The manually configured DNS settings will be supplied to clients that are configured to request
them from the Router.
