7.4 DHCP Table
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 EMG6765-Q10A's LAN as a DHCP
server or disable it. When configured as a server, the EMG6765-Q10A 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 or Configuration > Network > DHCP Server > Client List. Read-only information
here relates to your DHCP status. The DHCP table shows current DHCP client information (including MAC
Address, and IP Address) of all network clients using the EMG6765-Q10A's DHCP server.

DESCRIPTION
This is the index number of the host computer.
This field displays whether the connection to the host computer is up (a yellow bulb) or down (a
gray bulb).
This field displays the computer host name.
This field displays the IP address relative to the # field listed above.
This field shows the MAC address of the computer with the name in the Host Name field.
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address which uniquely
identifies a device. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of
hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
This field identifies the interface that assigned an IP address to a DHCP client.
Select this if you want to reserve the IP address for this specific MAC address.
