6.4 The DHCP Table Scren
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 NVG2053 as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a
server, the NVG2053 provides the TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If DHCP
service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server on that network, or else
the computer must be manually configured.
Click Monitor > DHCP Table. Read-only information here relates to your DHCP
status. The DHCP table shows current DHCP client information (including IP
Address, Host Name and MAC Address) of all network clients using the
NVG2053's DHCP server.
