6. Click Apply. If the router displays a dialogue box that says
“Values are saved. Do you really want to reboot the system
now?” click OK. This will reboot the router and apply all
configuration changes.
NOTE: If the router does not prompt you to reboot it at the
end of the last configuration step, you must use the
reboot command. See Rebooting the Router on
page 77.
CONFIGURING A FIXED IP ADDRESS FOR A PC
Most of the time, you want to let the router automatically assign
IP addresses to computers that connect to it using Dynamic Host
control Protocol or DHCP. In some cases—for instance, a mail
server, a web host, or a computer that operates as the
DMZ—you need to make sure that a PC always receives the
same IP address.
RESERVING FIXED IP ADDRESSES
If the PC supports DHCP, follow the steps below to configure the
router to always give the same IP address to that PC:
1. Open a browser window and login to the router.
2. Click Basic Configuration, then DHCP Server. This
displays the DHCP Server screen (see Figure 15).

3. In the DHCP client list at the bottom of the screen, identify
the computer you want to assign the fixed IP address to.
Copy down the PC’s IP address and MAC address. If you
have not yet connected the PC, identify an unused IP
address to reserve for the fixed IP address computer.
4. In the menu on the left frame, click Fixed IP Table. This
displays the Fixed IP Table screen. (See Figure 16.)
