DHCP Mode

Select DHCP server from the drop-down list to have the NBG-418N v2 act as a DHCP 
server. Otherwise, select None. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 
2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients (computers) to obtain TCP/IP 
configuration at startup from a server. Choose DHCP Server option unless your ISP 
instructs you to do otherwise. Choose None to disable the NBG-418N v2 acting as a 
DHCP server. When configured as a server, the NBG-418N v2 provides TCP/IP 
configuration for the clients. If not, DHCP service is disabled and you must have 
another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computers must be manually 
configured. When set as a server, fill in the following four fields.

IP Pool Range

This field specifies the range of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool for

Max Lease Time

This field specifies the Maximum time interval the device can be idle before the IP 
address on the LAN link is disconnected. Default is 120 minutes, maximum is 525600 
minutes
