DHCP Server

Your Gateway can provide network configuration information to computers on your LAN, using the Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
If you already have a DHCP server on your LAN, you should turn this service off.
Server Mode
If you want the Gateway to provide this service, select Server from the
pull-down menu,
then configure the range of IP addresses that you would like the Gateway to hand out to your computers.
You can also specify the length of time the computers can use the configuration information; DHCP calls
this period the lease time.
Your Service Provider may, for certain services, want to provide configuration from its DHCP servers to the
computers on your LANs. In this case, the Gateway will relay the DHCP requests from your computers to a
DHCP server in the Service Provider's network.
Select Relay-agent and enter the IP address of the Service Provider's DHCP server in the Server Address
field. This address is furnished by the Service Provider.
☛
NOTE:
The relay-agent option only works when NAT is off and the Gateway is in router mode.
