DHCP client

Setting the DHCP mode
If the DHCP mode is activated, the DHCP client starts a DHCP request to a configured
DHCP server and is assigned an IPv4 address as the response. The server manages an
address range from which it assigns IPv4 addresses. It is also possible to configure the
server so that the client always receives the same IPv4 address in response to its request.
Description

● "DHCP Client Configuration Request (Opt.66, 67)" check box

configuration file (Config or ConfigPack) and then enable it.

– via MAC Address
