There are three submenus under the DHCP menu (shown in Figure 3-22):

DHCP Settings

,

DHCP Clients List

and

Address Reservation.

Click any of them, and you will be able to

configure the corresponding function. The detailed explanations for each submenu are provided

below.

3.6.1

DHCP Settings

The router is set up by default as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, which

provides the TCP/IP configuration for all the PC(s) that are connected to the router on the LAN.

The DHCP Server can be configured on the page (shown in Figure 3-23):

the DHCP server. If you disable the Server, you must

have another DHCP server within your network or else you must manually configure the

computer.

¾

Start IP Address -

This field specifies the first of the addresses in the IP address pool.

192.168.1.100 is the default start address.

¾

End IP Address -

This field specifies the last of the addresses in the IP address pool.

192.168.1.199 is the default end address.

¾

Address Lease Time -

The

Address Lease Time

is the amount of time in which a network

user will be allowed connection to the router with their current dynamic IP Address. Enter the

amount of time, in minutes. The user will be "leased" this dynamic IP Address. The range of

the time is 1 ~ 2880 minutes. The default value is 120 minutes.

¾

Default Gateway -

(Optional.) Suggest to input the IP address of the LAN port of the router,

default value is 192.168.1.1

¾

Default Domain -

(Optional.) Input the domain name of your network.

¾

Primary DNS -

(Optional.) Input the DNS IP address provided by your ISP. Or consult your

ISP.

¾

(Optional.) Input the IP address of another DNS server if your ISP

provides two DNS servers.

Note:

To use the DHCP server function of the router, you must configure all computers on the LAN as

"Obtain an IP Address automatically" mode. This function will take effect until the router reboots.

3.6.3

Address Reservation

When you specify a reserved IP address for a PC on the LAN, that PC will always receive the

same IP address each time when it accesses the DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses should

be assigned to servers that require permanent IP settings. This page is used for address

reservation (shown in Figure 3-25).

Virtual Servers

Virtual servers can be used for setting up public services on your LAN, such as DNS, Email and

FTP. A virtual server is defined as a service port, and all requests from the Internet to this service

port will be redirected to the computer specified by the server IP. Any PC that was used for a

virtual server must have a static or reserved IP Address because its IP Address may change

when using the DHCP function. You can set up virtual servers on this page, shown in Figure

3-28:
