DHCP Server
11.1 Overview
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to
obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the EMG3425-Q10A’s LAN
as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the EMG3425-Q10A provides the TCP/
IP configuration for the clients. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server on
your LAN, or else the computer must be manually configured.
11.1.1 What You Can Do
• Use the General screen to enable the DHCP server ( Section 11.2 on page 94 ).
• Use the Advanced screen to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers
based on their MAC Addresses ( Section 11.3 on page 95 ).
• Use the Client List screen to view the current DHCP client information ( Section 11.4 on page
97 ).
11.1.2 What You Need To Know

assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example,
00:A0:C5:00:00:02. Find out the MAC addresses of your network devices if you intend to add them
to the
DHCP Client List screen.
