DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DIR-615 has a built-in DHCP server. The DHCP Server will
automatically assign an IP address to the computers on the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to be
DHCP clients by setting their TCP/IP settings to “Obtain an IP Address Automatically.” When you turn your computers
on, they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the DIR-615. The DHCP Server will automatically
allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting and
ending address of the IP address pool.

still not receive an IP Address; in that case, you may still need to extend the “DHCP IP Address Range” to address
the issue, it is located in the DHCP Server section.
The Reserve option converts this dynamic IP allocation into a DHCP Reservation and adds the corresponding entry to the
DHCP Reservations List.

Section 3 - Configuration
The DIR-615 can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing Web or FTP services via the public
IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN (Local Area Network).
The DIR-615 firewall feature filters out unrecognized
packets to protect your LAN network so all computers
networked with the DIR-615 are invisible to the outside
world. If you wish, you can make some of the LAN
computers accessible from the Internet by enabling
Virtual Server. Depending on the requested service,
the DIR-615 redirects the external service request to
the appropriate server within the LAN network.
The DIR-615 is also capable of port-redirection
meaning incoming traffic to a particular port may be
redirected to a different port on the server computer.
Each virtual service that is created will be listed at the
bottom of the screen in the Virtual Servers List. There are
pre-defined virtual services already in the table. You
may use them by enabling them and assigning the server IP to use that particular virtual service.

SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection, also known as dynamic packet
filtering) helps to prevent cyber attacks by tracking more state per
session. It validates that the traffic passing through the session
conforms to the protocol.
Select one of the following for TCP and UDP ports:
Endpoint Independent - Any incoming traffic sent to an open port
will be forwarded to the application that opened the port. The port
will close if idle for 5 minutes.
Address Restricted - Incoming traffic must match the IP address
of the outgoing connection.
Address + Port Restriction - Incoming traffic must match the IP
address and port of the outgoing connection.
Enable this option to provide protection from certain kinds of
“spoofing” attacks.
If an application has trouble working from behind the router, you
can expose one computer to the Internet and run the application
on that computer.
Note: Placing a computer in the DMZ may expose that computer to a variety of security risks. Use of this option is only
recommended as a last resort.
Specify the IP address of the computer on the LAN that you want to have unrestricted Internet communication. If this
computer obtains its IP address automatically using DHCP, be sure to make a static reservation on the System > Network
Settings page so that the IP address of the DMZ machine does not change.

100 is the default setting and is recommended.
This value should remain at its default setting of

minor modification should be made.
The fragmentation threshold, which is specified
