DHCP Relay

Some ISPs perform the DHCP server function for their customers' home/small office networks. In this case, you
can configure the Modem as a DHCP relay agent. When a computer on your network requests Internet access,
the Modem contacts your ISP to obtain an IP address (and other information), and then forwards that information
to the computer. Follow these instructions to configure DHCP relay.
First of all, you must configure your PCs to accept DHCP information assigned by a DHCP server. Open the
Windows Control Panel and display the computer's Networking properties. Configure the TCP/IP properties to
"Obtain an IP address automatically". For detailed instructions, see the section of "Configure the Host PC as a
DHCP Client"
Next, you specify the IP address of the DHCP server and select the interfaces on your network that will be using
the relay service in DHCP Relay configuration menu as below.
