5.2.3.1 DHCP Mode

You can configure your network and the router to use the Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This screen allows you to select the DHCP mode

that this router will support.

There are two different DHCP modes: DHCP Server and DHCP Relay. When the

router is acting as a DHCP server, configure it on the DHCP Server screen; while

acting as a DHCP relay, you can set up the relay on the DHCP Relay screen.

Some ISPs perform the DHCP server function for their customers' home/small

office network. In this case, you can configure this device to act as a DHCP relay

agent. When a user's computer on your network requests Internet access, the

router contacts your ISP to obtain the IP configuration, and then forwards that

information to the computer.
