7.4.5 DHCP Server
Path: System -> Network Settings -> DHCP Server
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a standardized network protocol used on Internet Protocol (IP)
networks for dynamically distributing network configuration parameters, such as IP addresses for interfaces and
services.
With DHCP, computers/IP phones request IP addresses and networking parameters automatically from Planet's
IPX series IPPBXs WAN/LAN port. This saves administrators a significant amount of time compared to manually
configuring these settings. Before activating DHCP services, please ensure there's no other DHCP server
running in your LAN, otherwise there will be collision between servers.
Set the DHCP server network parameters and turn it on.
The DHCP clients which obtained IP addresses from the IPPBX system DHCP server will be listed on the right
side of the page, in the DHCP Clients section.
If you want a host or client to always get the same IP address, IP Address Reservation will help. Click on the
button.
