DHCP Server

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol for assigning dynamic IP
addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device may have a
different IP address every time it connects to the network. In some systems, the IP
address may change while connected. DHCP supports a combination of static and
dynamic IP addresses. Dynamic addressing simplifies network administration because
the software keeps track of IP addresses rather than an administrator managing this task.
This means that a new computer can be added to a network without the hassle of
manually assigning it a unique IP address.

5.5.1 DHCP Server Configuration

The switch provides the following DHCP server functions once DHCP has been enabled.
DHCP Server - Enable or Disable the DHCP Server function. If enabled, the switch
will be the DHCP server on your LAN.
Low IP Address – Low IP address is the first of the dynamic IP numbers to be
assigned. For example, if the dynamic IP assign range is from 192.168.1.100 ~
192.168.1.200, 192.168.1.100 will be the Low IP address.
High IP Address - High IP address is the last of the dynamic IP numbers to be
assigned. In the example listed above, the High IP address would be 192.168.1.200.
Subnet Mask - The dynamic IP assigned range for subnet mask.
