11.1 DHCP

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
NBG318S as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the NBG318S
provides the TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have
another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computer must be manually configured.

DESCRIPTION
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 NBG318S acting
as a DHCP server. When configured as a server, the NBG318S 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.
This field specifies the size, or count of the IP address pool.
Click Apply to save your changes back to the NBG318S.
