DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The DHCP Server will automatically
assign dynamic IP addresses to the computers on the network. This protocol simplifies network
management and allows new wireless devices to receive IP addresses automatically without the
need to manually assign new IP addresses.
There are three submenus under the DHCP menu (as shown in Figure 4-21): DHCP Settings,
DHCP Clients List and Address Reservation. Clicking any of them will enable you to configure
the corresponding function. Detailed descriptions for each submenu are provided below.
