DHCP Server parameters for Ethernet n
Enable DHCP Server
When enabled, displays the following parameters:
IP Addresses a.b.c.d to a.b.c.d
There are six text boxes in this part of the page; three rows of two. The values in these specify the
starting and ending addresses for the range of IP addresses that will be handed out by the DHCP
server. You can use each of the three rows to specify a different IP address pool; all pools should
be within the same subnet. When the minimum IP address text box is clear, the DHCP service will
be disabled. In other words, in order to enable the DHCP service, there must be at least one
minimum IP address and a range.
Using the CLI, this is specified slightly differently, a starting address and a range are specified
instead.
Mask
The subnet mask on the network to which the router is connected.
Gateway
A gateway is required in order to route data to IP addresses that are not on the local subnet. The
value in this text box specifies the IP address of the gateway (which is usually the IP address of
the router itself as configured by the IP address of the Ethernet interface associated with this
DHCP instance). Alternatively, this may be set to the IP address of another router on the LAN.
DNS Server
The IP address of the primary DNS server to use by clients on the LAN. This is usually the IP
address of the route itself. Alternatively, this may be set to the IP address of an alternative DNS
server on the LAN.
