Using the Router as a DHCP Server

 Use Rou

ter as DHCP Server: If you select the Use Router as DHCP Server check box,

WNAP-1260 serves as a DHCP server to automatically assign IP addresses to computers

connected to it.

 Starting IP Address/Ending IP Address: Set the starting and ending IP addresses to specify a

pool of IP addresses to be assigned by the DHCP server. After you set Starting IP

Address/Ending IP Address, hosts in the LAN obtain IP addresses that are in the range of the

starting and ending IP addresses.

 DHCP Lease Time: The valid time for an IP address that is automatically assigned by the DHCP

server to a host. The DHCP server does not assign the IP address to other hosts within the

specified time.

Using Address Reservation

Whe

n you specify a reserved IP address for a computer in the LAN, the computer always receives the

same IP address each time it accesses the router’s DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses should be

assigned to computers or servers that require permanent IP settings.

To reserve an IP address:

Step 1 Click Add to enter the Address Reservation page.
