Pool Size Enter the number of IP addresses to allocate. This number must be at least one and is
limited by the interface’s Subnet Mask. For example, if the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 and
IP Pool Start Address is 10.10.10.10, the Zyxel Device can allocate 10.10.10.10 to
10.10.10.254, or 245 IP addresses.
If this field is blank, the IP Pool Start Address must also be blank. In this case, the Zyxel Device
can assign every IP address allowed by the interface’s IP address and subnet mask, except
for the first address (network address), last address (broadcast address) and the interface’s
IP address.
First DNS Server
Second DNS
Server
Third DNS Server
Specify the IP addresses up to three DNS servers for the DHCP clients to use. Use one of the
following ways to specify these IP addresses.
Custom Defined - enter a static IP address.
From ISP - select the DNS server that another interface received from its DHCP server.
Zyxel Device - the DHCP clients use the IP address of this interface and the Zyxel Device
works as a DNS relay.
First WINS Server,
Second WINS
Server
Type the IP address of the WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) server that you want to
send to the DHCP clients. The WINS server keeps a mapping table of the computer names
on your network and the IP addresses that they are currently using.
Default Router If you set this interface to DHCP Server, you can select to use either the interface’s IP
address or another IP address as the default router. This default router will become the
DHCP clients’ default gateway.
To use another IP address as the default router, select Custom Defined and enter the IP
address.
Lease time Specify how long each computer can use the information (especially the IP address)
before it has to request the information again. Choices are:
infinite - select this if IP addresses never expire
days, hours, and minutes - select this to enter how long IP addresses are valid.

PXE Server PXE (Preboot eXecution Environment) allows a client computer to use the network to boot
up and install an operating system via a PXE-capable Network Interface Card (NIC).
PXE is available for computers on internal interfaces to allow them to boot up using boot
software on a PXE server. The Zyxel Device acts as an intermediary between the PXE server
and the computers that need boot software.
The PXE server must have a public IPv4 address. You must enable DHCP Server on the Zyxel
Device so that it can receive information from the PXE server.
PXE Boot Loader
File
A boot loader is a computer program that loads the operating system for the computer.
Type the exact file name of the boot loader software file, including filename extension, that
is on the PXE server. If the wrong filename is typed, then the client computers cannot boot.
