Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

The next step in Easy Setup is configuration of DHCP. DHCP dynamically assigns IP

configuration information to PCs on the LAN, thus avoiding the need to set IP

configurations for each PC manually. For more information on DHCP, see “DHCP

(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)” on page 4-2.

This configuration form also provides for configuration of DNS (Domain Name

Service). DNS maps host names to IP addresses. The Easy Setup DHCP

Configuration page is shown below.

To continue the Easy Setup procedure by configuring DHCP, continue with the

following steps:

Step1 Optional, click to select DHCP server enabled on the LAN.

Selecting this option will allow the DHCP server to dynamically assign IP address

information to all LAN-side machines.

Step2 Configure Domain Name Service. Select one of the bulleted options

• Obtain DNS information automatically

Selecting this option will enable the DNS on the router. The DNS server address will

be learned when DHCP client requests are placed over the WAN link.

• Configure DNS manually
