DHCP Server Settings for the LAN

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
connected to it. Keep in mind that if you
change the IP address of the Router, you
must change the range of IP addresses in
the pool used for DHCP on the LAN.
To display the DHCP Server menu, click
the DHCP button in the Home directory.
Active DHCP Clients appear listed in the
DHCP Client List below the configuration
menu. Information about DHCP clients
includes the IP address, MAC address, host
name and lease time are displayed in the
list.
The three 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 use DHCP service provided by your ISP.
Follow the instructions below according to which of the above DHCP options you want to use. When you have
configured the DHCP Settings as you want them, click the Apply button to commit the new settings. The new
settings must be saved and the Router must be restarted for the settings to go into effect. To Save & Reboot the
Router, click on the Tools directory tab and then click the Save & Reboot menu button. Click the Reboot button
under Force the DSL-G604T to system restart. The Router will save the new settings and restart. Upon
restarting the Router will automatically establish the WAN connection.

Use the Router for DHCP

To use the built-in DHCP server, click to select the DHCP Server option if it is not already selected. The IP
Address Pool settings can be adjusted. The Starting IP Address is the lowest available IP address (default =
10.1.1.2). If you change the IP address of the Router this will change automatically to be 1 more that the IP
address of the Router. The Ending IP Address is the highest IP address number in the pool. Type in the Lease
Time in the entry field provided. This is the amount of time in seconds that a workstation is allowed to reserve
an IP address in the pool if the workstation is disconnected from the network or powered off.
