DH CP (Dy namic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to
obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server.
DHCP: If set to Enabled, your BiPAC 5200W can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and
D NS servers to Windows 95, Windows NT and other systems that support the DHCP client.
If set to Disabled, the DHCP server will be disabled.
If set to Relay, the BiPAC 5200W acts as a surrogate
responses between the remote server and the clients. Enter the IP address of the actual, remote
DHCP server in the Remote DHCP Server field in this case.

pool.
