These options are not required, and leave them blank is OK. They are used to define the default gateway, name domain search and primary and secondary Name Servers in the network.

Ranges

Range lists can be created with some values you could like to assign to network hosts. This lists must not have matches between them and every allocatable addresses must belong to the available range shown above the ranges list. If no list is created, every range will be used to assign addresses to the network.

Static assignments

A fixed IP can be assigned (if belongs to the available range) to a MAC address from the network. You just need to create an item at the static assignation list which has the MAC address and the required IP address.
