DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) automatically assigns an IP address to each device on the
network and manages other network configuration information for devices connected to your
network. You do not need to manually configure the IP address on each device that's on your
network.
The assigned IP addresses are not permanent (as opposed to when using static IP).
Most ISPs (Internet Service Providers) use DHCP.
Normally, you should enable DHCP, in which case you must configure each device on the
network with one of the following:
●
TCP/IP settings set to "Obtain an IP address automatically"
●
TCP/IP bound to the Ethernet connection with DHCP
If DHCP is disabled, you must configure each device on the network with:
●
Fixed (permanent/static) IP address.
●
DNS server addresses (provided by Sprint).
