12.1

Overview

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows
individual clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can
configure the MWR222's LAN as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as
a server, the MWR222 provides the TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If DHCP
service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the
computer must be manually configured.

What You Can Do

• Use the General screen to enable the DHCP server.
• Use the Advanced screen to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual
computers based on their MAC Addresses.
