A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) range refers to the set of IP addresses that a DHCP server can assign to devices on a network. This range is defined by a starting and ending IP address, allowing the server to dynamically allocate addresses to devices as they join the network. The DHCP server manages this range to ensure that IP addresses are assigned efficiently and without conflict, facilitating seamless network connectivity for devices.
The steps for doing this areConnect N600 LAN port to 7700N LAN portDisable DHCP on N600Enable DHCP on 7700NManually give the N600 an ip in the 192.168.1.x range (outside the DHCP range)This will then put all devices in 192.168.1.x range, and be far simpler.
Simple assign the range in the DHCP Server after excluding some IPs For the Network Server(s). But if suppose you have already assigned the range and want to configure a static IP for the server in that range only, then just add the exclusion range in DHCP that you don't want DHCP to use for distribution. Exclusion range can be of one IP also. Hope this helped -- By MyNarutoAnime
The default DHCP range for Arris routers typically starts at 192.168.0.2 and ends at 192.168.0.254, providing a total of 253 available IP addresses for devices on the network. However, this range may vary slightly depending on the specific model and configuration. Users can access the router's settings to adjust the DHCP range as needed. Always refer to the router's documentation for precise details.
Admin access. Generally there are DHCP settings to control the distribution of IP addresses. It varies from device to device.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol(DHCP) Server is used to distribute IP in the network automatically from the range specified in the DHCP Server while creating scope. -- By MyNarutoAnime ----
After installing the DHCP role, you configure a scope by giving it an IP address range, possible exclusions, and any scope options to be given out to clients. Then, you activate the scope, and you are done.
A DHCP client will receive an Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) address when it fails to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server after several attempts. This typically happens when there is no DHCP server available on the network or if the server is unreachable. APIPA assigns an IP address in the 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254 range, allowing for local communication on the same subnet.
The port 67 and port 68 are used by DHCP and the DHCP clients.
dhcp has to be authorized
The use of a DHCP relay agent is an agent that relays DHCP between DHCP clients and DHCP servers on different IP networks. The DHCP relay agent is compliant with RFC 1542.

In the LAN, its recommended to use DHCP because of the following two big reasons.Reliable IP address configuration: Using DHCP minimizes the human error caused while manual IP address configuration.Reduced Netwok Administration:Centralized and Automatic TCP/IP configurations.The ability to assign a full range of additional TCP/IP configuration values by means of DHCP options.
