DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) service simplifies management of a network by
dynamically assigning IP addresses to new clients on a network.
WARNING!
Enabling DHCP service on a network that is already using another
DHCP server creates conflicts that can interfere with your ability
to access the Internet.
You can enable your ReadyNAS storage system to work as a DHCP server. This feature is
available only on ReadyNAS storage systems that are installed in networks where DHCP
service is not already available.
If you want to use this device as a DHCP server, you must first specify static addresses in
your network configuration settings. For more information, see
