Configuring DHCP Relay

Some ISPs perform the DHCP server function for their customers'
home/small office networks. In this case, you can configure the
device as a DHCP relay agent. When a computer on your network
requests Internet access, the ADSL Barricade contacts your ISP
to obtain an IP address (and other information), and then forwards
that information to the computer. Follow the following instructions
to configure DHCP relay.

This field indicates the address that has been leased from the pool.
This is the network mask associated with the leased address.

for an explanation of these terms).
This field indicates the unique hardware ID of the computer
to which the IP address has been assigned.
This is the lower boundary of the address pool (shown here to
identify the pool from which the leased address was assigned).
The adress type can be [Static] or [Dynamic].
[Static] indicates that the IP number has been assigned
permanently to the specific hardware device.
[Dynamic] indicates that the number has been leased
emporarily for a specified length of time.
This field indicates the amount of time left for the device to use
the assigned address. The default lease time is 30 days
(31536000 seconds).
