5.7 Configuring Your Gateway’s IP Address Distribution
iPECS SBG-1000’s Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server enables you to easily add
computers that are configured as DHCP clients to the home network. It provides a mechanism for
allocating IP addresses and delivering network configuration parameters to such computers.
iPECS SBG-1000’s DHCP server for wired and wireless connections is the LAN bridge.
The host can choose to renew an expiring lease or let it expire. If it chooses to renew a lease then
it will also receive current information about network services, as it did with the original lease,
allowing it to update its network configurations to reflect any changes that may have occurred
since it first connected to the network. If the host wishes to terminate a lease before its expiration it
can send a release message to the DHCP server, which will then make the IP address available
for use by others.
Your gateway’s DHCP server:
• Displays a list of all DHCP host devices connected to iPECS SBG-1000
• Defines the range of IP addresses that can be allocated in the LAN
• Defines the length of time for which dynamic IP addresses are allocated
• Provides the above configurations for each LAN device and can be configured and
enabled/disabled separately for each LAN device
• Enables you to assign a static IP lease to a LAN computer, so that the computer will receive
