• Lease Time - each device will be assigned an

address by the

DHCP

server

for a limited time (“Lease Time”) when it connects to the network. When
the lease expires, the server will determine if the computer has disconnected
from the network. If it has, the server may reassign this

address to a

newly-connected computer. This feature ensures that

addresses not in use

will become available for other computers on the network.

• Provide host name if not specified by client - when activated, the Router

assigns the client a default name if the

DHCP

client does not have a host name.

• IP Address Distribution...Option 60 -

DHCP

Option 60 is used to preset

a general name for a product or product family, as well as set a specific
