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
nd
DHCP server will help router to assign the correct IP address of
the correct subnet to the correct host. So those hosts in 2
nd
subnet
won’t get an IP address belonging to 1
st
subnet.
RIP Protocol Control Disable deactivates the RIP protocol. It will lead to a stoppage of
the exchange of routing information between routers. (Default)
1st Subnet - Select the router to change the RIP information of the
1st subnet with neighboring routers.
2nd Subnet - Select the router to change the RIP information of
the 2nd subnet with neighboring routers.
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
the Vigor Router’s, you can let Relay Agent help you to redirect the
DHCP request to the specified location.
Enable Server - Let the router assign IP address to every host in
the LAN.
Disable Server – Let you manually assign IP address to every host
in the LAN.
Relay Agent – (1
st
subnet/2
nd
subnet) Specify which subnet that
DHCP server is located the relay agent should redirect the DHCP
request to.
Start IP Address - Enter a value of the IP address pool for the
DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. If the 1st IP
address of your router is 192.168.1.1, the starting IP address must
be 192.168.1.2 or greater, but smaller than 192.168.1.254.
IP Pool Counts - Enter the maximum number of PCs that you
want the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to. The default is 50
and the maximum is 253.
Gateway IP Address - Enter a value of the gateway IP address for
the DHCP server. The value is usually as same as the 1st IP address
of the router, which means the router is the default gateway.
