Section 3 - Configuration
DHCP Server:
Once the router is properly configured and this
DHCP Server option is enabled, the DHCP Server
will manage the IP addresses and other network
configuration information for computers and other
devices connected to the Local Area Network.
There is no need for you to do this yourself.
The computers (and other devices) connected
to your LAN also need to have their TCP/IP
configuration set to "DHCP" or "Obtain an IP
address automatically".
These two IP values (from and to) define a range
DHCP IP
of IP addresses that the DHCP Server uses when
Address
assigning addresses to computers and devices
Range:
on your Local Area Network. Any addresses that
are outside of this range are not managed by the
DHCP Server; these could, therefore, be used
for manually configured devices or devices that
cannot use DHCP to obtain network address details
automatically.
Lease Time:
The amount of time that a computer may have an
IP address before it is required to renew the lease.
The lease functions just as a lease on an apartment
would. The initial lease designates the amount of
time before the lease expires. If the tenant wishes
to retain the address when the lease is expired
then a new lease is established. If the lease expires
and the address is no longer needed then another
tenant may use the address.
