make changes to the subnet mask unless you have a specific reason to do so. The default
setting is 255.255.255.0.
3. DHCP Server
The DHCP server function simplifies setti ng up a network by assigning IP addresses to each
computer on the network automatically. The default setting is ON. The DHCP server can be

for each computer on your network. To turn the DHCP server OFF, uncheck the box next to
the word Enable.
4. DHCP Scope
DHCP Scope is the range of IP addresses set aside for dynamic assignment to the computers
on your network, defined by a Starting Address and an Ending Address. The default range is
between the numbers 2 and 254 (253 computers). If you want to change this number, you
can do so by entering a new starting and/or ending IP address here.
5. Lease Time
The duration of time that the DHCP server will reserve an IP address for each computer.
