6.2 DHCP Server

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The built-in DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses to

the computers and other devices on each local area network (LAN). In this section you can view a list of assigned IP

addresses and reserve IP addresses for particular devices.

Active Leases: A list of devices that have

been provided DHCP leases. The DHCP

server automatically assigns these leases.

This list will not include any devices that

have static IP addresses on the network.

Select a device and click Reserve to add

the device and its IP address to the list of

Reservations.

Reservations: This is a list of devices with

reserved IP addresses. This reservation is

almost the same as when a device has a static IP address except that the device must still request an IP address from the

router. The router will provide the device the same IP address every time. DHCP reservations are helpful for server

computers on the local network that are hosting applications such as Web and FTP. Servers on your network should

either use a static IP address or a reservation.

While you have the option to manually input the information to reserve an IP address (Hostname, Hardware Addr, IP

Addr), it is much simpler to select a device under the Active Leases section and click “Reserve.” The selected device’s

information will automatically be added under Reservations.
