This chapter describes how to configure the Model FR314, FR318 or FV318 Cable/DSL Firewall
Router's DHCP server.
DHCP Server Overview
DHCP, or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, is a method for distributing TCP/IP settings from
a centralized server to the computers on a network. The firewall router's DHCP server distributes
IP addresses, gateway addresses, DNS server addresses, and other IP configuration information to
the computers on your LAN.
The firewall router is shipped with its DHCP server enabled and preconfigured to automatically
assign the following TCP/IP configuration information to attached PCs on its local network:
•
PC or workstation IP addresses—192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.9
•
Subnet mask—255.255.255.0
•
Gateway address (the router)—192.168.0.1
These addresses are part of the IETF-designated private address range for use in private networks.
Note: Make sure there are no other active DHCP servers on the LAN before you connect the
firewall router.
