4.0 Configuration
LAN DHCP
A BulletPlus may be configured to provide dynamic host control protocol (DHCP) service to all attached
(either wired or wireless (WiFi)-connected) devices. By default the DHCP service is enabled, so devices
that are connected to the physical Ethernet LAN ports, as well as any devices that are connected by WiFi
will be assigned an IP by the BulletPlus. The LAN DHCP service is available for each interface, and is
located in the add/edit interface menus.

Prior to enabling this service,
verify that there are no other
devices - either wired (e.g.
LAN) or wireless with an
active DHCP SERVER
service. (The Server issues
IP address information at the
request of a DHCP Client,
which receives the
information.)
The option is used to enable or disable the DHCP service for devices
connected to the LAN Port(s).
