5.3.2.2 DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows the individual PC to obtain the TCP/IP configuration from
the centralized DHCP server. You can configure this router as a DHCP server or disable it. The DHCP server
can assign IP address, IP default gateway, and DNS server to DHCP clients. This router can also act as a
surrogate DHCP server (DHCP Relay) where it relays IP address assignment from an actual real DHCP
server to clients. You can enable or disable DHCP server.
