D-Link DSL-502T User Manual - Dhcp Configuration For Lan

DSL-502T ADSL Router User’s Guide 

DHCP Configuration for LAN 

The Router supports three DHCP modes for the LAN. By default, DHCP service is provided using an IP pool of 

192.168.1.2 – 192.168.1.254 for a total of 253 IP addresses available. The Router can also relay DHCP service 

from another server through the WAN port. You may prefer to disable DHCP service and DHCP relay and use a 

different preferred method for IP addressing on your LAN.   

To disable the embedded DHCP server, select the Server and Relay Off option and click the Apply button. 

Figure 3- 13. Configure DHCP service for the LAN 

For DHCP service on the LAN, select the Server On option to enable DHCP service from the Router (enabled 

by default) and configure DHCP server parameters as follows: 

DHCP Parameter 

Description 

Start IP  

Type in the base address for the IP pool of unassigned IP addresses. This IP 

address must be consistent with the Management IP address of the Router. 

Normally the Start IP address is one greater than the Management IP address. 

End IP  

Type in the last address of the contiguous IP address range to be used by the 

Router for DHCP function. Up to 253 consecutive IP addresses may be used 

for the pool. 

Lease Time 

This specifies the amount of time (in seconds) a client can lease an IP 

address, from the dynamically allocated IP pool.  

Click the Apply button to make the changes to the DHCP settings. Remember to Save All in the Tools/System
