Enabled — Turns on the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol on this network. Without
DHCP, IP addresses have to be assigned manually to each device attempting to connect
to the network. IP addresses can still be manually assigned when DHCP is enabled.
Ranges — The list of DHCP ranges configured on this network. A DHCP range specifies a
range of IP addresses to be assigned to clients on the network. Ranges should not
overlap and should belong to the network defined by the address and netmask.
o Start — The start address of a particular range. This address must be in valid IPv4
format and belong to the network as defined by the IP Address and Subnet Mask
fields.
o End — The end address of a particular range. This address must be in valid IPv4
format and belong to the network as defined by the IP Address and Subnet Mask
fields.
o Lease — The duration of the DHCP lease in minutes. This is the duration of time
before a client must refresh their IP address or be assigned a new one. Changes
made to DHCP or DNS settings will not be seen by clients until their lease expires.
