DHCP Server
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows devices in a TCP/UDP network to be automatically
configured for the network as the device is booted. The DHCP service uses a client-server mechanism,
wherein a DHCP server stores and manages network configuration information for clients and offers
necessary data when a client requests the information. The information includes the IP address and subnet
mask, the IP address of the default gateway, the DNS server IP address, and the IP lease information.
This screen controls the creation and management of DHCP servers. DHCP servers can assign IPv4
addresses to clients on the network, while RADVD servers assign IPv6 addresses.
Important
Do not create a new DHCP server if one already exists on the network. Enabling multiple
DHCP servers on the same network can cause IP address conflicts or network access
errors.
