IP Address Distribution
If you click
Advanced
in the top navigation menu and then select the
IP Address Distribution
link, the following
screen will appear.
Your Router's Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server makes it possible to easily add computers that
are configured as DHCP clients to the home network. It provides a mechanism for allocating IP addresses and
delivering network configuration parameters to such hosts. The Router’s default DHCP server is the LAN bridge.
A client (host) sends out a broadcast message on the LAN requesting an IP address for itself. The DHCP server then
checks its list of available addresses and leases a local IP address to the host for a specific period of time and
simultaneously designates this IP address as “taken.” At this point the host is configured with an IP address for the
duration of the lease.
To configure the DHCP Sever settings, click the LAN (NAT) Bridge link, the following screen will appear. Enter
the desired DHCP settings in the fields provided, and then click
Apply
to save the settings.
