Lease Time In Minutes Each device will be assigned an IP address by the DHCP server for
this amount of time, when it connects to the network. When the lease expires the server will
determine if the computer has disconnected from the network. If it has, the server may
reassign this IP address to a newly-connected computer. This feature ensures that IP
addresses that are not in use will become available for other computers on the network.
Provide Host Name If Not Specified by Client If the DHCP client does not have a host
name, the gateway will automatically assign one for it.
