8.4.3.1 Using the Router as a DHCP Server
Use Router as DHCP Server: If the Use Router as DHCP Server check box is selected,

computers connected to it.
Starting IP Address/Ending IP Address: Set the starting and ending IP addresses to

the DHCP server to a host. The DHCP server does not assign the IP address to other
hosts within the specified time.

addresses should be assigned to computers or servers that require permanent IP settings.
