The following table describes the labels in this screen.
10.3 DHCP Server Advanced Screen
This screen allows you to assign IP addresses on the LAN or Guest WLAN
to specific individual computers based on their MAC addresses. You can also use
this screen to configure the DNS server information that the NBG334W sends to the DHCP
clients.
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address
is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example,
00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
To change your NBG334W’s static DHCP settings, click Network > DHCP Server >
Advanced. The following screen displays.

DESCRIPTION
LAN DHCP Setup
Enable DHCP Server
Enable or Disable DHCP for LAN or Guest WLAN (See
).
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132)
allows individual clients (computers) to obtain TCP/IP configuration at startup
from a server. Leave the Enable DHCP Server check box selected unless
your ISP instructs you to do otherwise. Clear it to disable the NBG334W
acting as a DHCP server. When configured as a server, the NBG334W
provides TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If not, DHCP service is disabled
and you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computers
must be manually configured. When set as a server, fill in the following four
fields.
IP Pool Starting
Address
This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool
for LAN or Guest WLAN.
Pool Size
This field specifies the size, or count of the IP address pool for LAN or Guest
WLAN.
Apply
Click Apply to save your changes back to the NBG334W.
Reset
Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh.
