DHCP

DHCP
From the DHCP screen, shown in Figure 6-8, you can configure the settings to
your DHCP server. A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server
automatically assigns an IP address to each PC on your network for you. Unless
you already have one, it is highly recommended that you leave the Router
enabled as a DHCP server.
Figure 6-8
DHCP Server DHCP is already enabled by factory default. If you already
have a DHCP server on your network, set the Router's DHCP option to
Disable. Click the Apply button and then the Continue button. If you disable
DHCP, remember to assign a static IP address to the Router.
