DHCP Client

Setting of the DHCP mode
If the device is configured as a DHCP client, it starts a DHCP query. As the reply to the query
the device receives an IPv4 address from the DHCP server. 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.
