Specify the IP Addresses That the Gateway Assigns
By default, the gateway acts as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The
gateway assigns IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected
to the LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the gateway.
These addresses must be part of the same IP address subnet as the gateway’s LAN IP
address. Using the default addressing scheme, define a range between 198.168.0.2 and
192.168.0.254, although you can save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.
The gateway delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
An IP address from the range that you defined
Subnet mask
Gateway IP address (the gateway’s LAN IP address)
