IP Address Source
This features allows the user to select how an IP address is assigned to a cli-
ent computer or network device. Select DHCP (Dynamic Host Confi guration
Protocol) to allow a client (computer or device) obtains an IP address from a
DHCP server that manages a pool of IP addresses and network information on
a "request and grant" basis. Upon timeout (or lease expiration), the IP address
assigned to the client can be reassigned to a new client. Select Static (Static
Allocation) to allow the host server to allocate an IP address based on a table
containing MAC Address/IP Address pairs that are manually entered (probably
by a network administrator). Only clients with a MAC address listed in the MAC/
IP Address Table will be assigned an IP address. The IP Address allocated to
the client is on a longer term basis than that assigned by the DHCP mentioned
in the other option. The options are DHCP and Static.
