DHCP Server/DHCP Relay
DHCP allows networked devices to obtain information on the parameter of IP, Netmask, Gateway
as well as DNS through the Ethernet Address of the device.
To configure the router's DHCP Server, select DHCP Server from the DHCP Server Mode drop-
down menu. A message window will pop up to remind you as below. Click OK to continue.
You can then configure parameters of the DHCP Server including the domain name, IP pool (starting
IP address and ending IP address to be allocated to PCs on your network) and lease time for each
assigned IP address (the period of time the IP address assigned will be valid). These details are sent
to the DHCP client (i.e. your PC) when it requests an IP address from the DHCP server. Click Add
to save this entry or Remove to delete an existing entry.
If you select DHCP Relay from the DHCP Server Mode drop-down menu, you must enter the IP
address of the DHCP server that assigns an IP address to the DHCP client in the LAN. Use this
function only if advised to do so by your network administrator or ISP.
Click Apply/Save to confirm the changes and enable the above functions.
