8.3 The Static DHCP Screen
This table allows you to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers based on
their MAC Addresses.
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is
assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example,
00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
Use this screen to change your GPON Device’s static DHCP settings. Click Network Setting >
Home Networking > Static DHCP to open the following screen.

The following table describes the labels in this screen.
DNS Query
Scenario
Select how the GPON Device handles clients’ DNS information requests.
• IPv4/IPv6 DNS Server: The GPON Device forwards the requests to both the IPv4 and
IPv6 DNS servers and sends clients the first DNS information it receives.
• IPv6 DNS Server Only: The GPON Device forwards the requests to the IPv6 DNS
server and sends clients the DNS information it receives.
• IPv4 DNS Server Only: The GPON Device forwards the requests to the IPv4 DNS
server and sends clients the DNS information it receives.
• IPv6 DNS Server First: The GPON Device forwards the requests to the IPv6 DNS
server first and then the IPv4 DNS server. Then it sends clients the first DNS information
it receives.
• IPv4 DNS Server First: The GPON Device forwards the requests to the IPv4 DNS
server first and then the IPv6 DNS server. Then it sends clients the first DNS information
it receives.

Click this to add a new static DHCP entry.
# This is the index number of the entry.
Status This field displays whether the client is connected to the GPON Device.
MAC Address The MAC (Media Access Control) or Ethernet address on a LAN (Local Area Network) is
unique to your computer (six pairs of hexadecimal notation).
A network interface card such as an Ethernet adapter has a hardwired address that is
assigned at the factory. This address follows an industry standard that ensures no other
adapter has a similar address.
