6.1 DHCP Server

The DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) is used to assign an IP address to the
computers on the LAN/private network. When you enable the DHCP Server, the DHCP
Server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the
requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending address for the IP Address
pool.


assigned to a specific client by the DHCP server. During this time, the server will not
attempt to assign the IP address to any other client computer.
