DESCRIPTION
Select the checkbox to enable DHCP for LAN.
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
NBG4615 acting as a DHCP server. When configured as a server, the
NBG4615 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 NBG4615.
Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
