    Table 8 Parameter description of configuring the DHCP service on the LAN

    Parameter

    Description

    Enable DHCP Server on LAN

    After the DHCP service on the LAN is enabled, users on the LAN can automatically obtain IP addresses ranging from the start IP address to the end IP address.

    Start IP Address

    Indicates the start IP address of the IP addresses assigned to the DHCP client.

    By default, the system takes the IP address mask range for the interface as the assignable IP address range. For example, the IP address of an interface is 192.168.1.5 255.255.255.0. When you create a DHCP server on the interface, the system regards Start IP Address as 192.168.1.1, and End IP Address to 192.168.1.254 by default. Because 192.168.1.5 is the IP address of the interface, it will not be assigned. When assignable IP address range is different from the default value, you can directly specify the Start IP Address and End IP Address.

    End IP Address

    Indicates the end IP address of the IP addresses assigned to the DHCP client.

Check Configuration Information
