Assigning Ip Addresses - Huawei BC510 User Manual

10
In the dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) settings page, you can set the mode for
assigning IP addresses in a LAN. DHCP automatically assigns IP addresses to the network
devices. If you are using the DHCP server, you need to do the following configurations on
the PC connecting with the gateway. For details, refer to "Configuring the PC Network."
Click to open the DHCP setting page.
Ÿ IP Address: The default IP address of the gateway is 192.168.1.1.
Ÿ Subnet Mask: The combination of the subnet mask and IP address enables the flexible
subnetting. By default, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Ÿ DHCP Server: It is used to assign IP addresses dynamically. If the DHCP server is
Enabled, it can automatically assign IP addresses for PCs. It is recommended to select
Disabled for the DHCP server.
Ÿ Start IP Address& End IP Address: It is used to define the IP address range that the
host can use during the IP address assignment. For example, in the network segment
192.168.1.0/24, the default IP address of the gateway is 192.168.1.1. The host IP address
can range from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. The minimum range is a single IP address.
Ÿ DHCP Lease Time: The DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to each
device connected to the network. When the leased time expires, the DHCP server checks
whether the device is connected to the network. If the device is disconnected from the
network, the server assigns the IP address to another device. Thus, the IP address is not
wasted.
& Note:
Ÿ The Start IP Address must be smaller than or equal to the End IP Address.
Ÿ If the DHCP Server is Enabled, the configurations of Start IP Address, End
IP address, and DHCP Lease Time are valid; otherwise, you cannot configure
them.
