Number to Send Number of Ping request messages to send.
Ping Size Number of bytes in a Ping request message.
Ping Reply Timeout Number of seconds to wait for a reply to a Ping request message.
Below these parameters is a status table that shows the number of pings returned

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

DHCP provides a mechanism through which computers using TCP/IP can obtain
protocol configuration parameters automatically through the network.
The most important configuration parameter associated with DHCP is the IP
Address. A computer must initially be assigned a specific IP Address that is
appropriate to the network to which the computer is attached, and that is not
assigned to any other computer on that network. If a computer moves to a new
network, it must be assigned a new IP Address for that new network. DHCP can
be used to manage these assignments automatically.
DHCP has other important configuration parameters also, such as the subnet
mask, default router, and Domain Name System (DNS) server. Using DHCP, a
network administrator can avoid hands-on configuration of individual computers
through complex and confusing setup applications. Instead, those computers can
obtain all required configuration parameters automatically, without manual
intervention, from a centrally managed DHCP server. DHCP is available on the
10/100 Ethernet port only.

You must Save and Restart for any changes in DHCP configuration

Always verify that a DHCP server is available on the network before
enabling DHCP Client. If, on power-up, a DHCP server is not found,
a 60-second timeout will occur.
