DHCP Server Settings

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol.

The DIR-600 has a built-in DHCP server. The DHCP

Server will automatically assign an IP address to the

computers on the LAN/private network. Be sure to

set your computers to be DHCP clients by setting

their TCP/IP settings to “Obtain an IP Address

Automatically.” When you turn your computers

on, they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP

settings provided by the DIR-600. The DHCP Server

will automatically allocate an unused IP address from

the IP address pool to the requesting computer. You

must specify the starting and ending address of the

IP address pool.
