the LAN (bar-lan) interface is the DHCP server of local networks and the cornerstone of Ethernet and Wi-Fi functions.
i. Configure IP Pool
To modify the DHCP configuration, you need to log in to the router admin, go to Network
> Interfaces
on the top menu. Click Edit
on the row of LAN
(local area network).
Configuration > General
In the section of Common Configuration
> General Setup
, you can modify the router IP address, netmask, gateway address, broadcast address, and DNS servers.
DHCP Server > General
Scroll down and find the section of DHCP server
> General Setup
, you can modify the DHCP IP pool
and DHCP lease period
.
The DHCP server can automatically configure connected devices' TCP/IP settings and lease out an IP address from the available IP pool.
To disable the DHCP server, you can select the checkbox of Ignore interface
.
DHCP Server > Advanced
Under the tab of Advanced Settings
, you can set up more configurations on the DHCP server.
ii. Physical LAN Interface
There are five physical RJ45 ports on the EZR24-X500 router. LAN Ethernet is bound to the logical port eth0.1
which includes physical LAN 1~4 ports.
iii. DHCP Leases
To check the active DHCP clients, you need to log in to the router admin, go to Network
> DHCP & DNS
Scroll down and find the section of Active DHCP Leases
.
Static Leases
Static IP leases reserve specific IP addresses to particular devices by binding them to their MAC address. It’s useful when having a stationary device connected to the network that needs to be reached frequently, such as a NAS, printer, camera, etc.
