End IP Address: The last IP address in the range that can be used to automati-
cally assign IP addresses to LAN hosts.
Subnet Mask: A mask used to determine to what subnet an IP address belongs.
An example of a subnet mask value is 255.255.255.0.
Lease Time In Minutes: Each device will be assigned an IP address by the
DHCP server for this amount of time, when it connects to the network. When
the lease expires the server will determine if the computer has disconnected
from the network. If it has, the server may reassign this IP address to a newly-
connected computer. This feature ensures that IP addresses that are not in use
will become available for other computers on the network.
Provide Host Name if Not Specified by Client: If the DHCP client does not have
a host name, the gateway will automatically assign one for him.
DHCP Relay. Your gateway can act as a DHCP relay in case you would like to
dynamically assign IP addresses from a DHCP server other than your gate-
way's DHCP server. Note that when selecting this option you must also change
Router's WAN to work in routing mode.
After selecting 'DHCP Relay' from the drop down menu, a 'New IP Address'
1.
link will appear: Click the 'New IP Address' link. The 'DHCP Relay Server
Address' screen will appear.
Specify the IP address of the DHCP server.
2.
Click 'OK' to save the settings.
3.
Disabled. Select 'Disabled' from the combo-box if you would like to statically
assign IP addresses to your network computers.
You can choose to setup your gateway to use static or dynamic routing. Dy-
namic routing automatically adjusts how packets travel on the network, whereas
static routing specifies a fixed routing path to neighboring destinations.
