Once enabled and configured, the DHCP server automatically assigns
IP addresses to any network devices which are set to obtain their IP
address dynamically.
If DHCP Server is enabled on your Gateway, configure the network
devices as DHCP Clients. There are 2 basic options in this section:
Disabled and DHCP Server.
To set up the Gateway’s network bridge to function as a DHCP server:
1.
In the
IP Address Distribution
section, select the DHCP
server. Once enabled, the DHCP server provides automatic
IP assignments (also referred to as IP leases) based on the
preset IP range defined below.
•
Start IP Address
– Enter the first IP address in the IP
range that the Gateway will automatically begin assigning
IP addresses from. Since your Gateway’s IP address is
192.168.1.1, the default Start IP Address is 192.168.1.2.

End IP Address
– Enter the last IP address in the IP range
that the Gateway will automatically stop the IP address
allocation at. The maximum end IP address range that can
be entered is 192.168.1.254.
2.
If Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) is being used,
enter the WINS server address.
3.
In the
Lease Time in Minutes
field, enter the amount of time
a network device is allowed to connect to the Gateway with
its currently issued dynamic IP address.

ROUTING
You can configure your Gateway to use static or dynamic routing.
•
Static routing
– specifies a fixed routing path to neighboring
destinations based on predetermined metrics.
•
Dynamic routing
– automatically adjusts how packets travel
on the network. The path determination is based on network/
device reachability and status of network being traveled.
To configure routing:
1.
In the
Routing Table
section, click
Add New Route
to display
and modify the new route configuration page.
