5.4 DHCP server
67
Using DHCP brings two main benefits. First, the administration is much easier than
with the other protocols as all settings may be done at the server (it is not necessary to
configure individual workstations). Second, many network conflicts are eliminated (i.e.
one IP address cannot be assigned to more than one workstation, etc.).
DHCP Server Configuration
To configure the DHCP server in WinRoute go to Configuration → DHCP Server. Here you
can define IP scopes, reservations or optional parameters, and view information about
occupied IP addresses or statistics of the DHCP server.
The DHCP server can be enabled/disabled using the DHCP Server enabled option (at the
top). Configuration can be modified even when the DHCP server is disabled.
Definition of Scopes and Reservations
To define scopes including optional parameters and to reserve IP addresses for selected
clients go to the Scopes dialog. The tab includes two parts — in one address scopes and
in the other reservations are defined:
