12.5 Static DHCP Screen
This screen allows you to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers based on
their MAC addresses.
To change your NBG6815’s static DHCP settings, click Expert Mode > LAN > Static DHCP.
Figure 68 Expert Mode > LAN > Static DHCP
The following table describes the labels on this screen.
DHCP Server Select Enable to activate DHCP for LAN.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows
individual clients (computers) to obtain TCP/IP configuration at startup from a server.
Enable the DHCP server unless your ISP instructs you to do otherwise. Select Disable
to stop the NBG6815 acting as a DHCP server. When configured as a server, the
NBG6815 provides TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If not, DHCP service is
disabled and you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computers
must be manually configured. When set as a server, fill in the following four fields.
IP Pool Starting
Address
This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool for LAN.
Pool Size This field specifies the size, or count of the IP address pool for LAN.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes back to the NBG6815.
