Dhcp - D-Link DI-634M Manual

Home > DHCP
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DI-634M has a built-in DHCP
server. The DHCP Server will automatically assign an IP address to the computers on
the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to be DHCP clients by setting
their TCP/IP settings to "Obtain an IP Address Automatically." When you turn your
computers on, they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the
DI-634M. The DHCP Server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the
IP address pool to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending
address of the IP address pool.

Select the amount of time of the DHCP lease from the
drop-down menu.
If one or more computers or devices fail to obtain an IP address
from the router, it may have an old DHCP client that incorrectly
turns off the broadcast flag of DHCP packets. Enabling this
option will cause the router to always broadcast its responses
to all clients, thereby working around the problem. This will add
broadcast traffic to the network.
