3.2.6 DHCP:

Use the DHCP screen to set up your gateway as a Dynamic Host Configuration

Protocol (DHCP) server. DHCP servers automatically assign IP addresses to all the

clients on your network.

DHCP Server

If you choose to enable DHCP, make sure there is not already a DHCP server on your

network.

If you don't enable DHCP, you'll need to manually configure an IP address for each computer on

your network. If you do enable DHCP, make sure that each computer is configured to retrieve an IP

address automatically.

IP Pool Starting Address/IP Pool Ending Address:

Specify the IP Pool Starting Address to designate the first IP address that can be

assigned to a computer on the network. Similarly, specify the IP Pool Ending

Address to designate the last IP address that can be assigned.
