DHCP Server
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a framework for passing
configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network. DHCP allows a host to be
configured automatically, eliminating the need for intervention by a network
administrator. The Device can act as a DHCP server to assign network addresses and
deliver other TCP/IP configuration parameters (such as gateway IP address, DNS
server IP address, etc.) to the LAN hosts.
4.4.1 DHCP Server Settings
The DHCP server assigns an IP address to a requesting client from a DHCP address
pool, which also can be configured to provide other TCP/IP configuration parameters
to the client, such as the DNS Server, gateway IP address, etc.
