DHCP Server

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DHCP protocol allows your router to dynamically assign
IP addresses to PCs on your network if they are configured to obtain IP addresses automatically.
Figure 3-13. Home – DHCP Server
None DHCP
The DHCP Server is disabled; you will need to manually assign a fixed IP address to each PCs on your network,
and set the default gateway for each PCs to the IP address of the router.
DHCP Server
You can configure parameters of the DHCP Server including the IP pool (starting IP address and ending IP
address to be allocated to PCs on your network), lease time for each assigned IP address (the period of time the
IP address assigned will be valid), DNS IP address and the gateway IP address. These details are sent to the
DHCP client (i.e. your PC) when it requests an IP address from the DHCP server. If you check "Use Router as a
DNS Server", the ADSL Router will perform the domain name lookup, find the IP address from the outside
network automatically and forward it back to the requesting PC in the LAN (your Local Area Network).
