Configuring DHCP
To configure DHCP settings, DHCP must be enabled (
DHCP Server ).
You can set the following DHCP settings in
● DHCP IP Address Range
available for the device to dynamically (that is, not permanently) assign to computers
connected to it.
The start address must be 192. 1 68.0.10 or above.
The ending address must be 192.168.0.50 or below.
● DHCP Lease Time
— Amount of time, in minutes, a computer can use its assigned IP address
before it is required to renew the lease. After this time is up, the computer is automatically
assigned a new dynamic IP address.
Enter a number between 2 and 10080.
● Max DHCP Clients
— The number of DHCP addresses that can be assigned and active at one
time. It's recommended you set this to a number greater than the number of Wi-Fi users.
● DNS Mode
— Specifies how the DNS servers (that the DHCP clients are to communicate with)
are obtained. See "DNS Mode" on page 101.
●
Assign a permanent (static) IP address to a device on your network, and view the static
IP assignment list. See "DHCP Static IP Assignment List" below.
DHCP Static IP Assignment List
With DHCP, IP addresses are assigned dynamically; devices typically don't have a permanent
IP address.
However, in some cases you might want to assign a static (permanent) IP address to a device,
while still using DHCP for the rest of the devices on your network. This is also known as
"DHCP reservation." You might want to do this with, for example, a Web server, FTP server, media
server.
