DESCRIPTION
Select Enable to activate DHCP for LAN.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows
individual clients (computers) to obtain TCP/IP configuration at startup from a server.
Enable the DHCP server unless your ISP instructs you to do otherwise. Select Disable
to stop the NBG6716 acting as a DHCP server. When configured as a server, the
NBG6716 provides TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If not, DHCP service is
disabled and you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computers
must be manually configured. When set as a server, fill in the following four fields.
This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool for LAN.
This field specifies the size, or count of the IP address pool for LAN.
Click Apply to save your changes back to the NBG6716.
Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
