DESCRIPTION
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC
2132) allows individual clients (computers) to obtain TCP/IP
configuration at startup from a server.
• Leave the Enable DHCP Server check box selected unless your
ISP instructs you to do otherwise.
• Clear it to disable the NBG-460N acting as a DHCP server.
When configured as a server, the NBG-460N provides TCP/IP
configuration for the clients. If not, DHCP service is disabled and
you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the
computers must be manually configured. When set as a server, fill
in the following four fields.
This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP
address pool for LAN.
This field specifies the size, or count of the IP address pool for LAN.
Click Apply to save your changes back to the NBG-460N.
Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh.
