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. Each of the three rows can be used 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 used to 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 be used by clients on the LAN. This will usually be
the IP address of the route itself. Alternatively, this may be set to the IP address of an
alternative DNS server on the LAN.
