5.3.1.6 DHCP Server
You can disable or enable the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server or
enable the router’s DHCP relay functions. The DHCP protocol allows your router to
dynamically assign IP addresses to PCs on your network if they are configured to obtain IP
addresses automatically.
DHCP Server Mode: Disable
To disable the router’s DHCP Server, check
Disabled
and then click
Apply.
When the
DHCP Server is disabled, you will need to manually assign a fixed IP address to each PC on
your network, and set the default gateway for each PC to the IP address of the router (the
default is 192.168.1.254).

DHCP Server Mode: DHCP Server
To configure the router’s DHCP Server, check
DHCP Server
. You can then configure
parameters of the DHCP Server including the IP pool (starting IP address and ending IP
address to be allocated to PCs on your network), lease time for each assigned IP address
(the period of time the IP address assigned will be valid), DNS IP address and the gateway
IP address. These details are sent to the DHCP client (i.e. your PC) when it requests an IP
address from the DHCP server. Click
Apply
to enable this function. If you check “
Use
Router as a DNS Server
”, the ADSL Router performs the domain name lookup, finds the IP
address from the outside network automatically and forwards it back to the requesting PC in
the LAN (your Local Area Network).

Address will be assigned to the correspongding MAC address by DHCP.
