DHCP Configuration

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows a PC to join an IP-based network
without the need of configuring the IP Addresses. It assigns a unique IP address to the
device. When this device leaves the network, DHCP server will release the IP address,
and when it re-joins, the DHCP server will then renew the IP address.
If you have set the TCP/IP protocol of your PC to dynamic IP address, the built-in
DHCP server will automatically assign the IP address/es within the range of DHCP
Start IP Address and DHCP End IP Address to the PCs connected in the same
network. For dynamic WAN IP, the DNS IP address is obtained automatically from the
ISP.
NOTE
If you are running different DHCP servers on your network, you will have to
enable only one DHCP server to prevent any conflict in the network addressing.
Description of parameters
IP Address
IP (Internet Protocol) address uniquely identifies the Gateway
in the network. This is the IP address that users should point
to as their Internet gateway if fixed IP addresses are
configured on the computers in the network. However, the
DHCP Server will assign this information if the computers are
configured to dynamically obtain IP addresses.
