U.S. Robotics SureConnect ADSL Ethernet/USB Router User Guide
Starting IP Address First IP address provided on a LAN port node’s DHCP
request.
End IP Address Last IP address in the pool provided on a LAN port
node’s DHCP request.
Gateway IP address of the Default Gateway or Router that the
node will use.
Netmask Subnet Mask for the LAN that the node will be on.
DNS Domain Name Server. Actually, here we aren’t referring
to the DNS itself. Instead, we refer to the IP address of
the DNS that the node will use. DNS is a server with a
database. The database translates a domain name into a
corresponding IP address. For example, “USR.com”
resolves into IP address 231.222.320.04. Use this
address to communicate over the LAN between the node
and USR.com web site.
Lease Time Number of days that the node can use a DHCP lease.
Subsequently, you must renew the lease with the DHCP
server.

●
Configure DHCP Relay. Enter 5 at the DHCP Server Menu. The DHCP Server Status
Menu appears. This menu allows you to configure DHCP relay functions. Suppose that a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server resides on a different LAN than the
node broadcasting for DHCP service. Then the DHCP broadcast request must be
forwarded across the router/WAN to a subnet where a DHCP server resides. To assure
receipt of an IP address that corresponds to this subnet, the router relays DHCP. The
router must have a record of the DHCP server’s IP address. With this address, the router
can direct the request to the DHCP server’s appropriate input IP address.
To configure a DHCP relay, follow these steps…
