  • Page 36: Lan

    With DNS masquerading ON, the DHCP server embedded in the NTC-140-01 router hands out its own IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.1) as the DNS server address to LAN clients. The downstream clients then send DNS requests to the NTC-140-01 router which proxies them to the upstream DNS servers.
  • Page 37 In advanced networks configurations where the NTC-140-01 router should not be responsible for DHCP assignment, but instead an existing DHCP server is located on the Wireless WAN or LAN connections, the clients behind the NTC-140-01 router are able to communicate with the DHCP server when DHCP relay is enabled. This enables the NTC-140-01 router to accept client broadcast messages and to forward them onto another subnet.
