DHCP
DHCP is a network protocol used to configure devices that are connected to a
network so they can communicate on that network using the Internet Protocol (IP).
You could set up the DHCP server or DHCP relay, and view the DHCP status.
DHCP Setup
An embedded DHCP server supports automatic IP assignation for LAN computers.
(This function is similar to the DHCP service in NT servers.) It benefits users by
freeing them from the inconvenience of recording and configuring IP addresses
for each PC. When a computer is turned on, it will acquire an IP address from the
device automatically.

Device IP:

Subnet Mask: Input the subnet mask of the static IP address issued by ISP.
There are three DHCP modes: None, DHCP Server, and DHCP Relay.
DHCP Server: Check the option to enable the DHCP server automatic IP
lease function. When enabled, all PCs will be able to acquire IP automatically.
Otherwise, users should configure static virtual IP for each PC
DHCP Relay: Check the option to enable the DHCP relay function. DHCP relay
is a proxy that is able to receive a DHCP request and resend it to the real DHCP
server.
DHCP Server IP Address: This is the current DHCP IP.
Client lease Time:
This is to set up a lease time for the IP address
acquired by a PC. The default is 1,440 minutes
(one day). Users can change it according to their
needs. The time unit is minutes.
Range Start:
The initial IP automatically leased by DHCP. The
default initial IP is 192.168.1.100.
Range End:
Thefinal IP automatically leased by DHCP. The
default initial IP is 192.168.1.149.
DNS Server:
You could use DNS proxy, DNS from ISP, or
configure your own DNS below.
Static DNS 1:
Input the IP address of the DNS server.
Static DNS 2:
Input the IP address of the DNS server.
WINS Server:
