DESCRIPTION
Enable or Disable 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.
Leave the Enable DHCP Server check box selected unless your ISP instructs you to
do otherwise. Clear it to disable the NBG-418N acting as a DHCP server. When
configured as a server, the NBG-418N 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 NBG-418N.
Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh.
