Table 5-2. DHCP Setup Fields

Field Description

DHCP Server: If this box is checked, the router acts as a DHCP server.

If this box is cleared, the router’s DHCP server is disabled.

Pool Starting Address The beginning of the range of IP addresses to assign.

Count The number of sequential addresses available for assignment to

attached hosts. The maximum is 32.

Primary DNS Server If you want the router to provide the Primary DNS Server address to

attached hosts, enter the DNS address in this field. If this field is 0.0.0.0,

the router assigns its own address as DNS Server, and performs a DNS

Proxy if it can obtain a DNS address from the ISP.

Secondary DNS Server If you want the router to assign the Secondary DNS Server address

to attached hosts, enter the address in this field.

Table 5-3. LAN TCP/IP Setup Fields

Field Description

TCP/IP Setup:

IP Address Enter the IP address of the LAN interface of the router in dotted-decimal

notation (four 8-bit numbers, between 0 and 255, separated by periods,

for example, 192.168.0.1). Every device on the TCP/IP network must

have a unique IP address.

IP Subnet Mask An IP address consists of two parts, the network ID and the host ID. The

IP Subnet Mask specifies the network ID portion of the address, written

in dotted-decimal notation. The router automatically calculates this mask

for the class of the IP address that you assign. Unless you have a

special need for subnetting, use the default subnet mask calculated by

the router. All hosts on the LAN segment should use the same mask.
