DHCP enables or disables support for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.
When DHCP is enabled, the router will request a dynamic IP address from a
DHCP server on the Ethernet network. The router must be rebooted before an
IP address will be requested from the DHCP server. After the router is
rebooted, the HTTP session will have to be restarted. The IP address will be
different from the former non-DHCP IP address.
To use the DHCP feature, a DHCP server must be operational on the Ethernet
Some DHCP servers allow a lease reservation to be set up for an IP address by
providing the server with the Ethernet MAC address. The DHCP server will
then always provide the same IP address to the router. This setup can be useful
for remote management of the router via Telnet or VM. Because the method
of setting up a lease reservation varies, depending on the DHCP server being
used contact the Network Administrator for assistance.
