8.3.2 DHCP Setup

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 AMG1001-T/AMG1011-
T as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the AMG1001-T/AMG1011-T provides
the TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If you turn DHCP service off, you must have another DHCP

8.3.3 DNS Server Addresses
