5.2.2.2
Configuring DHCP Server
Note
First, you must configure your PCs to accept DHCP information assigned by a
DHCP server:
1. Open the DHCP server configuration page by clicking the LAN
menu. You will see the existing DHCP server configuration and the IP
lease table when you open the page.
2. Enter the information for the IP Address Pool (Begin/End Address),
Subnet Mask, Lease Time and Default Gateway IP Address fields; others, such as
Primary/Secondary DNS Server IP Address and Primary/Secondary WINS Server IP
Address are optional. However, it is recommended that you enter the primary DNS server IP
address in the space provided. You may enter the LAN IP or your ISP's DNS IP address in the
primary DNS Server IP Address field. For details of each configuration parameter, please refer to
Table 5.2.
Table 5.2. DHCP Server Configuration Parameters
Description
Specify the lowest and highest addresses in the DHCP address pool.
Enter the subnet mask to be used for the DHCP address pool.
The amount of time the assigned address will be used by a device connected
on the LAN.
The address of the default gateway for computers that receive IP addresses
from this pool. The default gateway is the device that the DHCP client
computers first contacted to communicate with the Internet. Typically, it is the
RX3041H's LAN port IP address.
The IP address of the Domain Name System server to be used by computers
that receive IP addresses from this pool. The DNS server translates common
Internet names that you type into your web browser into their equivalent
numeric IP addresses. Typically, the server(s) are located with your ISP.
However, you may enter LAN IP address of the RX3041H as it will serve as
DNS proxy for the LAN computers and forward the DNS request from the
LAN to DNS servers and relay the results back to the LAN computers. Note
that both the primary and secondary DNS servers are optional.
The IP address of the WINS servers to be used by computers that receive IP
addresses from the DHCP IP address pool. You don't need to enter this
information unless your network has WINS servers.
By default, the RX3041H is configured as a DHCP server on the
LAN side, with a predefined IP address pool of 192.168.1.10
through 192.168.1.200 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0). To change
this range of addresses, follow the procedures described in this
section.
