DHCP Server
You can disable or enable the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server or enable the router’s DHCP relay
functions. The DHCP protocol allows your router to dynamically assign IP addresses to the PCs on your network if they
are configured to obtain IP addresses automatically.
To disable the router DHCP Server, check Disabled and click Next, then click Apply. When the DHCP Server is
disabled you will need to manually assign a fixed IP address to each PC on your network, and set the default gateway
for each PC to the IP address of the router (by default this is 10.0.0.2).
To configure the router DHCP Server, check DHCP Server and click next. You can then configure parameters of the
DHCP Server including the IP pool (starting IP address and ending IP address to be allocated to PCs on your network),
lease time for each assigned IP address (the period of time the IP address assigned will be valid), DNS IP address and
the gateway IP address. These details are sent to the DHCP client (i.e. your PC) when it requests an IP address from
the DHCP server. Click Apply to enable this function. If you check Use Router as a DNS Server”, the ADSL Router will
perform the domain name lookup, find the IP address from the outside network automatically and forward it back to the
requesting PC in the LAN (your Local Area Network).
If you check DHCP Relay Agent and click Next, then you will have to enter the IP address of the DHCP server which
will assign an IP address back to the DHCP client in the LAN. Use this function only if advised to do so by your network
administrator or ISP.
Click Apply to enable this function.
