Cookbook Configuration

DHCP server: The DHCP server function is enabled by default in router mode. You are advised to enable the
function if the device is used as the sole router on a network. When multiple routers are connected to the upper-
layer device through LAN ports, disable this function.
Start: Enter the start IP address of the DHCP address pool. A client obtains an IP address from the address
pool. If all the addresses in the address pool are used up, no IP address can be obtained from the address pool.
IP Count: Enter the number IP addresses in the address pool.
Lease Time(Min): Enter the address lease time. When a client is connected, the leased IP address is
automatically renewed. If a leased IP address is not renewed due to client disconnection or network instability,
the IP address will be reclaimed after the lease time expires. After the client connection is restored, the client
can request an IP address again. The default lease time is 30 minutes.
After the DHCP server is configured, you can check the configuration on the LAN Settings tab page. You can
click Edit to change the DHCP server configuration.
