therefore, be used for manually configured devices or devices that cannot use DHCP to obtain
network address details automatically.
It is possible for a computer or device that is manually configured to have an address that does
reside within this range. In this case the address should be reserved, so that the DHCP Server
knows that this specific address can only be used by a specific computer or device.
Your router, by default, has a static IP address of 192.168.10.1. This means that addresses
192.168.10.2 to 192.168.10.254 can be made available for allocation by the DHCP Server.
Subnet Mask
The subnet mask of the local area network.
Gateway
The IP address of the router on the local area network. For example, 192.168.10.1.
DHCP Lease Time
The amount of time that a computer may have an IP address before it is required to renew the
lease. The lease functions just as a lease on an apartment would. The initial lease designates
the amount of time before the lease expires. If the tenant wishes to retain the address when the
lease is expired then a new lease is established. If the lease expires and the address is no
longer needed than another tenant may use the address.
Add/Edit DHCP Reservation
This option lets you reserve IP addresses, and assign the same IP address to the network
device with the specified MAC address any time it requests an IP address. This is almost the
same as when a device has a static IP address except that the device must still request an IP
address from the router. The router will provide the device the same IP address every time.
DHCP Reservations are helpful for server computers on the local network that are hosting
applications such as Web and FTP. Servers on your network should either use a static IP
address or use this option.
Computer Name
You can assign a name for each computer that is given a reserved IP address. This may help
you keep track of which computers are assigned this way. Example: Game Server.
IP Address:
The LAN address that you want to reserve.
MAC Address
