• Remote DHCP Server—Choose this if you are using a DHCP relay gateway. 
The relay gateway transmits DHCP messages between multiple subnets. 
Enter the address of the relay gateway in the Remote DHCP Server field.
• None—Use this to disable DHCP on the VLAN. 
In the LAN Proxy section, to enable the VLAN to act as a proxy for all DNS requests 
and communicate with the ISP's DNS servers, check the Enable box.
STEP  5 Click Save.
Configuring Static DHCP
The DHCP server function allows you to add the MAC address and IP address of 
endpoints that will connect to the network. When the endpoint connects to the 
router, the DHCP server identifies any endpoints that have been configured. If an 
endpoint has been configured in the server, the server assigns it the customized IP 
address. If the endpoint is not configured in the server, it is assigned an IP address 
from the generic DHCP pool.
STEP 1 Choose Networking > LAN (Local Network) > Static DHCP.
STEP  2 Click Add.
STEP  3 Enter the IP address of the device.
STEP  4 Enter the MAC address of the device. The format for the MAC Address is 
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX where X is a number from 0 to 9 (inclusive) or an alphabetical 
letter between A and F (inclusive).
NOTE: The IP Address assigned should be outside the pool of the DHCP 
addresses configured on the router. The DHCP pool is treated as generic pool and 
all reserved IPs should be outside this pool. The DHCP server will then serve the 
reserved IP address when the device using the corresponding MAC address 
requests an IP address.
