DHCP Server You can configure the router to serve as a DHCP server for the 2nd
subnet.
Start IP Address: Enter a value of the IP address pool for the DHCP
server to start with when issuing IP addresses. If the 2nd IP address
of your router is 220.135.240.1, the starting IP address must be
220.135.240.2 or greater, but smaller than 220.135.240.254.
IP Pool Counts: Enter the number of IP addresses in the pool. The
maximum is 10. For example, if you type 3 and the 2nd IP address of
your router is 220.135.240.1, the range of IP address by the DHCP
server will be from 220.135.240.2 to 220.135.240.11.
MAC Address: Enter the MAC Address of the host one by one and
click Add to create a list of hosts to be assigned, deleted or edited IP
address from above pool. Set a list of MAC Address for 2

DHCP Server
Configuration
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The
router by factory default acts a DHCP server for your network so it
automatically dispatch related IP settings to any local user
configured as a DHCP client. It is highly recommended that you
leave the router enabled as a DHCP server if you do not have a
DHCP server for your network.
If you want to use another DHCP server in the network other than
Vigor Router’s, you can let Relay Agent help you to redirect the
DHCP request to the specified location.
