Lease Time The length of time the DHCP server will reserve the IP
address for each computer. Setting lease times for shorter
intervals such as one day or one hour frees IP addresses after
the specified period of time. This also means that a particular
computer’s IP address may change over time. If you have set
any advanced features such as DMZ, this is dependent on the
IP address. For this reason, you will not want the IP address
to change.
IP Address Pool The DHCP IP Address Pool is the range of IP addresses set
aside for dynamic assignment to the computers on your
network.
Start IP This field indicates the first of the contiguous IP addresses in
the IP address pool.
End IP This field indicates the last of the contiguous IP addresses in
the IP address pool.
Domain Name The domain name is the name you assign to your network.
