computers on the LAN or WLAN. See 

 for 

background information. To open this menu, enter 2 in menu 3.

DHCP

Select what type of DHCP service the ZyXEL Device provides to the network. 

Choices are:
None - the ZyXEL Device does not provide any DHCP services. There is 

already a DHCP server on the network.
Relay - the ZyXEL Device routes DHCP requests to one or more DHCP 

servers you specify. The DHCP server(s) may be on another network.
Server - the ZyXEL Device assigns IP addresses and provides subnet mask, 

gateway, and DNS server information to the network. The ZyXEL Device is the 

DHCP server for the network.

Client IP Pool

These fields are available if you select Server in the DHCP field.

Starting Address

Enter the IP address from which the ZyXEL Device begins allocating IP 

addresses. You can assign a static IP address to a specific computer; see 

Network > DHCP Server > Static DHCP.

Size of Client IP Pool

Enter the number of IP addresses to allocate. This number must be at least one 

and is limited by the subnet mask 255.255.255.0. For example, if the IP Pool 

Start Address is 10.10.10.10, the ZyXEL Device can allocate up to 

10.10.10.254, or 245 IP addresses.

These fields are available if you select Server in the DHCP field. The ZyXEL 

Device provides the following DNS servers to DHCP clients.
