Enable Static DHCP IP
There are reasons why you may want to enable a static IP
address on a client device on your ESR router’s network.
On occasion, if there are power outages or if you’ve reconfigured
the settings on your ESR router and reboot (restart) it to apply
the new settings, the previous IP address that the router’s DHCP
server assigned to one or more devices on the network may have
changed. Some client devices on your network may also have
web configuration interfaces (set top boxes, Network Attached
Storage, etc.) that are accessible from the router’s assigned
IP address from its DHCP server, so the client device can be
managed. Thus if the client device’s IP address changes from
time to time, it may be difficult linking to it unless you find its
new address through the ESR router’s DHCP Client Table.
If you wish to avoid this, then the Enable Static DHCP IP option
allows you set a static (essentially a permanent) address for
given client devices on your network.
To do so, select the
Enable Static DHCP IP
option.
