Using the DHCP Option

Use the

DHCP

option to configure dynamic host configuration protocol-specific behavior

on the device.

Steps

To configure DHCP settings:

1.

Click

Basic

from the main menu.

2. Click

DHCP

from the left side menu. Field descriptions are listed below the screen

example.

WAN Connection Type

Selects the WAN connection type. For each type, different data

entry is required, as explained below:



DHCP: The WAN interface is set to a DHCP client, and

the IP address is assigned by the service provider’s DHCP

server.



Static IP: For Static IP, you must manually enter the IP

address for the WAN interface.



PPTP (dhcp): For Point to Point Tunneling Protocol

(PPTP), you must enter a username, password, and the

PPTP server’s IP address.



PPTP (static):



L2TP (dhcp):



L2TP (static):

IPv4 MTU Size

Defines the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size. MTU

defines the largest size of the packet or frame that the device

can transfer (256-1500). If this is not given by your service

provider, use 0 for the default.

DHCP Server

Enables (Yes) or disables (No) DHCP on the device. If No is

selected, all the static DHCP rules in this screen are ignored.

Starting Local Address

Defines the starting local IP address for the pool of IP

addresses that can be used by connecting clients. Private

addresses are translated to public IPs to be used on the

network.

Number of CPEs

Defines the maximum number of customer premises

equipment devices (CPE) that can connect to the network

through the DVW326.

Lease Time

Defines the DHCP lease time duration in minutes between 1

and 71582788. A DHCP user's PC gets an IP address with a

lease time. When the lease time expires, the PC must connect

to the DHCP server and be issued a new unused IP address.

Note:

The default DHCP lease time is 3600 seconds and

should be changed to

86400

seconds (24 hours). This helps

resolve connectivity issues with some iMAC and Windows 7

devices that turn off the network interface when they go into

standby mode. This results in slow Web browsing until the

device gets a new IP address via DHCP.

5.3

Using the DDNS Option

Use the dynamic domain name system (DDNS) to assign a changing IP address to a

constant pre-defined host name. The host can then be contacted by other hosts on the

Internet, even if its IP address changes.

The DDNS service for the DVW326 is provided through a third-party and can be

purchased from Dynamic Network Services Inc. at www.dynDNS.com.

Steps

To use the DDNS option:

1.

Click

Basic

from the main menu.

2. Click

DDNS

from the left side menu. Field descriptions are listed below the screen

example.

DHCP Clients

Lists all DHCP clients currently connected to the device, either

via an Ethernet link, or via a wireless connection. Each client

is listed with the following information:



MAC Address / IP Address / Subnet Mask



Duration: Duration displays the accumulated time since

the client acquired the IP address.



Expires: Expires is the time until the IP expires and must

be recycled. If the IP address is reserved to a certain

host, it shows STATIC IP ADDRESS.



Select: Reserves the current private IP address to be

assigned to this host statically when selected.

Current System Time

Displays the current system time.

Force Available

Activates a selected rule in the DHCP Clients list and assigns

IP addresses.

Note:

The Select button must be activated in

the DHCP list.
