10.1.1 DHCP Connection
The DHCP connection method is suitable if the ISP provides an IP address automatically by DHCP (e.g.
Cable, Metro Ethernet, etc.).
DHCP Settings
DNS Servers
Each ISP may provide a set of DNS servers for DNS lookups. This setting
specifies the DNS (Domain Name System) Servers to be used when a DNS
lookup is routed through this connection.
Selecting Obtain DNS server address automatically results in the DNS Servers
to be assigned by the WAN DHCP Server to be used for outbound DNS lookups
over the connection. (The DNS Servers are obtained along with the WAN IP
address assigned from the DHCP server.)
When Use the following DNS server address(es) is selected, you may enter
custom DNS server addresses for this WAN connection into the DNS server 1 and
DNS server 2 fields.
Hostname
(Optional)
If your service provider's DHCP server requires you to supply a hostname value
upon acquiring an IP address, you may enter the value here. If your service
provider does not provide you with the value, you can safely bypass this option.
Please refer to Section 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5 for details about WAN Health Check, Bandwidth
Allowance Monitor, Additional Public IP Settings, and Dynamic DNS Settings respectively.
