DHCP Reservation

If you want a computer or device to always have the same IP address assigned, you can create a DHCP reservation.

The router will assign the IP address only to that computer or device.

Note:

This IP address must be within the DHCP IP Address Range.

Check this box to enable the reservation.

Enter the computer name or select from the

drop-down menu and click

<<

.

Enter the IP address you want to assign to the

computer or device. This IP Address must be

within the DHCP IP Address Range.

Enter the MAC address of the computer or

device.

If you want to assign an IP address to the

computer you are currently on, click this button

to populate the fields.

Click

Save

to save your entry. You must click

Save. Settings

at the top to activate your

reservations.

In this section you can see what LAN devices

are currently leasing IP addresses.

Click

Revoke

to cancel the lease for a specific

LAN device and free an entry in the lease table.

Do this only if the device no longer needs the

leased IP address, because, for example, it has

been removed from the network.

Reserve:

Note:..

The Revoke option will not disconnect a PC with a current network session from the network; you would need to use

MAC Address Filter to do that. Revoke will only free up a DHCP Address for the very next requester. If the previous

owner is still available, those two devices may both receive an IP Address Conflict error, or the second device may

still not receive an IP Address; in that case, you may still need to extend the “DHCP IP Address Range” to address

the issue, it is located in the DHCP Server section.

The Reserve option converts this dynamic IP allocation into a DHCP Reservation and adds the corresponding entry to

the DHCP Reservations List.

Section ² - Configuration

The DIR-628 can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing Web or FTP services via the public

IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN (Local Area Network).

The DIR-628 firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked

with the DIR-628 are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of the LAN computers accessible

from the Internet by enabling Virtual Server. Depending on the requested service, the DIR-628 redirects the external

service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network.

The DIR-628 is also capable of port-redirection meaning incoming traffic to a particular port may be redirected to a

different port on the server computer.

Each virtual service that is created will be listed at the bottom of the screen in the Virtual Servers List. There are

pre-defined virtual services already in the table. You may use them by enabling them and assigning the server IP to

use that particular virtual service.
