4.4.1.4 DHCP Connection Setup
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows the ADSL Router to automatically obtain the
IP address from the server. This option is commonly used in situations where IP is dynamically
assigned and is not known prior to assignment.
To configure the ADSL Router for a DHCP connection, click on Setup and then click on New
Connection. The default DHCP connection setup is displayed. At the Type field select DHCP
and the DHCP connection setup page is displayed; figure 7 illustrates a typical DHCP
configuration. Give your DHCP connection a unique name; the name must not have spaces and
cannot begin with numbers. In this case the unique name is called DHCP1. Select the
encapsulation type (LLC or VC); if you are not sure just use the default mode. Select the VPI and
VCI settings; your DSL service provider or your ISP will supply these; in this case the DSL service
provider is using 0,100. Also select the quality of service (QOS); leave the default value if you
are unsure or the ISP did not provide this information.
If your DSL line is connected and your DSL/IPS provider is supporting DHCP, you can click the
renew button and the gateway will retrieve an IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway address.
At anytime, you can renew the DHCP address by clicking on the renew button; in most cases you
will never have to use this button.
