Dhcp Service Modes - D-Link DSL-300G User Manual

DHCP Service Modes

DHCP services can be employed in one of three different ways; it can provide DHCP services, it can receive
DHCP services or it can relay DHCP service. By default the device is configured to act as a DHCP server on the
Ethernet LAN. In this case it will supply IP settings to hosts that are configured to receive IP settings from a
DHCP server.
The device may also be configured to relay IP settings from your ISP's DHCP server. In this case, you will want
to configure the client hosts on your LAN to automatically obtain IP settings.
Finally the Modem can perform no DHCP function at all. In this case, it will need to be either manually assigned
IP settings or receive them from a DHCP server on your LAN or from the ISP (see previous section).
Choose one the options below from the DHCP Mode: drop-down menu.

Click the Submit button to save the settings in temporary memory. When you are done making changes to the
configuration settings, open the Save& Reboot menu and click the Save button to save your changes to
permanent memory.

DHCP Mode Configuration
This is the default mode for the Modem. In this mode it provides DHCP
services to properly configured hosts on the Ethernet LAN.
In this mode the Modem is an intermediary device or relay agent between a
DHCP server owned by the ISP and host systems on your LAN.
In this mode the device does deliver or relay any DHCP services. If you
choose this option and are operating in Modem mode you will need to supply
IP settings to the device manually (see previous section).
