DHCP
The DHCP page allows you to configure your Cable Modem/Router’s DHCP server.
To access the DHCP page:
1 Click Basic in the menu bar.
2 Then click the DHCP submenu.
Figure 10 shows an example of the menu and Table 6 describes the items you can
select.
Figure 10. Example of DHCP Page
In the unusual event that you have a separate DHCP server on your LAN, you can
disable the Cable Modem/Router’s DHCP server by selecting the No radio button. If you
do this, make sure the IP address assigned to the Cable Modem/Router is on the same
subnet as that of the external DHCP server, or you won’t be able to access the Cable
Modem/Router from the LAN. The base LAN IP address of the Cable Modem/Router can
be set from the Basic Setup page.
Note that the Cable Modem/Router will only operate on a class C subnet, with subnet
mask 255.255.255.0
You may also want to disable the DHCP server if you have assigned static IP addresses
to all devices on your network.
