Using Dhcp - Bay Networks NauticaRS Reference Manual

117237-E Rev.00
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows
configuration information, such as IP addresses, to be stored on a
central DHCP server. This server can be the Nautica router, or the
router can point to the actual server.
Once configured, DHCP information is passed to a client on
receipt of a request. Using this protocol allows a limited pool of
IP addresses to be more widely used.
For more general information on DHCP, please refer to Chapter 1.
