DHCP Server Settings

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The D-Link GO-RT-N150 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 router. 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.

Section 3 - Conﬁguration

The D-Link GO-RT-N150 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 D-Link GO-RT-N150 firewall feature filters out

unrecognized packets to protect your LAN so all

computers networked with the router 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 router redirects the external service request

to the appropriate server within the LAN.

The D-Link GO-RT-N150 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. Pre-

deﬁned virtual services are already listed in the table.

You may use them by enabling them and assigning the

server IP to use that particular virtual service.
