Lease time can be set in '''hours''' ('''h''') or '''minutes''' ('''m'''). The minimal amount of time that can be specified is '''2min''' ('''2m''')</td>

    <tr>
    	<td>IP netmask</td>
        <td>ip; Default: '''255.255.255.0'''</td>
        <td>Overrides your LAN netmask, thus making the DHCP server think that it’s serving a larger or smaller network than it actually is</td>

    <tr>

        <td>DHCP options; Default: " "</td>
        <td>Additional options to be added to the DHCP server. For example with '26,1470' or 'option:mtu, 1470' you can assign an MTU value per DHCP.

    </tr>
</table>

==Static Leases==

Static IP leases are used to reserve specific IP addresses for specific devices by binding them to their MAC address. This is useful when you have a stationary device connected to your network that you need to reach frequently, e.g., printer, IP phone, etc.

[[File:Network lan staticleases.PNG]]

<table class="nd-mantable">
    <tr>
        <th>field name</th>
       	<th>value</th>
       	<th>description</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      	<td>Hostname</td>
       	<td>string; Default: " "</td>
       	<td>A custom name that will be linked with the device</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      	<td>MAC address</td>
       	<td>mac; Default: " "</td>
       	<td>Device’s MAC address</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    	<td>IP address</td>
        <td>ip; Default: " "</td>
        <td>The desirable IP address that will be reserved for the specified device</td>
    </tr>
</table>

==IP Aliases==

IP Aliases are a way of defining or reaching a subnet that works in the same space as the regular network. This is useful if you need to reach the router that is located in the same network but in a different subnet. If you have a static IP configuration on your computer and don’t want to change it every time you need to reach a router in a different subnet, you can configure an IP alias in order to do so.

===General setup===
----
[[File:Network lan ip alias general.png]]

<table class="nd-mantable">
    <tr>
        <th>field name</th>
       	<th>value</th>
       	<th>description</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      	<td>IP address</td>
       	<td>ip; Default: " "</td>
       	<td>An alternate IP address used to reach the router by a device(s) that resides in the router's LAN but has a different subnet</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      	<td>Netmask</td>
       	<td>ip; Default: '''255.255.255.0'''</td>
       	<td>Netmask defines how "large" a network is</td>
    </tr>
</table>

As you can see, the configuration is very similar to the static protocol; in the example above an IP address with a 99th subnet is defined. In this case, if some device has an IP in the 99th subnet (e.g., 192.168.99.xxx) and the subnet’s gateway metric is “higher” and the device is trying to reach the internet it will reroute it’s traffic not to the gateway that is defined in common configurations but through the one that is specified in IP aliases.

===Advanced Settings===
----
You may also define a broadcast address, a custom DNS server and Gateway for your IP Aliases in the Advanced Settings tab.

<table class="nd-mantable">
    <tr>
        <th>field name</th>
       	<th>value</th>
       	<th>description</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      	<td>IP Broadcast</td>
       	<td>ip; Default: " "</td>
       	<td>IP broadcasts are used by BOOTP and DHCP clients to find and send requests to their respective servers</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      	<td>DNS</td>
       	<td>ip; Default: " "</td>
       	<td>A separate DNS server to be used by the IP Alias address</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    	<td>Gateway</td>
        <td>ip; Default: " "</td>
        <td>A gateway is a network node that connects two networks using different protocols together</td>
    </tr>
</table>

==Relayd==

'''Relayd''' is a daemon to relay and dynamically redirect incoming connections to a target host. Its main purpose in RUT routers is extending the wireless network. For example, when RUT is in STA (Wireless Station) mode, it can be used to bridge WAN and LAN interfaces to create a larger Wireless network. You can find a detailed example on how to use Relayd '''[[Relayd|here]]'''.

    </tr>
    <tr>
      	<td>Enable</td>
       	<td>yes {{!}} no; Default: '''no'''</td>
       	<td>Toggles Relayd ON or OFF</td>
    </tr>
</table>

==UDP Broadcast Relay==

The <b>UDP Broadcast Relay</b> will listen for broadcast traffic on the specified port and relay that traffic to the specified interface(s).

    </tr>
    <tr>
      	<td>Port</td>
       	<td>integer [0..65535]; default: <b>none</b></td>
       	<td>UDP port to listen for broadcast traffic.</td>
    </tr>
