IP addresses that are in the range of the starting and ending IP
addresses

Using Address Reservation

When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer in the LAN, the computer always receives the
same IP address each time it accesses the router’s DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses should be
assigned to computers or servers that require permanent IP settings.

To reserve an IP address:

Step 1 Click Add to enter the Address Reservation page.

Figure 9-24


Step 2 Select one item from Address Reservation Table, or enter the IP address in the IP Address

field to assign to the computer or server (Choose an IP address from the IP address pool that
you have specified, for example 192.168.1.x). Enter the MAC address and device name of
the computer or server.


Step 3 Click Add to add a new item into Address Reservation.

Step 4 Click Apply to save the settings.
