From the Networking Service section, you can configure DHCP Server settings.
DHCP Server
The DHCP Server section is used for configuring a local DHCP server for IP provisioning to connected
devices. DHCP Server is only available for AP/Master/Client-Router operation modes. If the device is in
Client-Router mode, the DHCP service applies to LAN interfaces for wired connected devices.
IP addresses can be assigned in one of two ways:
Dynamic: The DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses to devices from a configured IP address
•
range.
Static: Users manually map an IP address to a specific MAC address.
•
If necessary, users can use a mixed provisioning model with both dynamic DHCP pool and MAC-based IP
assignment. In a mixed DHCP mode environment, the system will first check if the device is listed in the
MAC-based IP assignment table. If no matching entry is found, the system will assign an IP address from
the configured DHCP IP pool.
NOTE
Due to a functional limitation, if the device's own IP is acquired through DHCP, the DHCP Server feature
cannot be enabled on the device.
