Reference Guide for the Model RT338 ISDN Router IP Configuration by DHCP When an IP-based local area network is installed, each PC must be configured with an IP address. If the PCs need to access the Internet, they should be configured with a gateway address and one or more DNS server addresses. As an alternative to manual configuration, there is a method by which each PC on the network can obtain this configuration information automatically. A device on the network may act as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The DHCP server stores a list or pool of IP addresses, along with other information (such as gateway and DNS addresses) that it may assign to the other devices on the network. The Model RT338 router has the capacity to act as a DHCP server. The Model RT338 router also functions as a DHCP client when connecting to the ISP. The router automatically obtains an IP address, subnet mask, DNS server addresses, and a gateway address if the ISP provides this information by DHCP. Introduction 1-15
