6 DHCP Server
6.1 DHCP Server
DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) is used to assign an IP address to
the computers on the LAN/private network. When you enable the DHCP
Server, the DHCP Server will allocate automatically an unused IP address
from the IP address pool to the requesting computer in premise of
activating “Obtain an IP Address Automatically”. So specifying the start and
end address of the IP Address pool is needed.
DHCP server: Check the Enable box to enable DHCP server.
IP pool start/end address: Enter the range of IP addresses for
DHCP server distribution.
Lease time: It indicates the valid time of the dynamic IP address
which is distributed to the DHCP client’s host computer by DHCP
server. During this time, the server will not distribute the IP address
to any other host computer.
6.2 DHCP Client List
DHCP client list displays user computer’ IP address, MAC address, host
name and other information which are assigned by the DHCP server. You
can manually enter the IP and MAC address and convert them to static
assignment.
