Configuration Guide 5. DHCP
5 DHCP
DHCP is a network protocol that allows network devices to acquire IPv4 address and
additional network configuration parameters automatically from a DHCP server. DHCP is
defined in RFC 2131 and the DHCP server options are defined in RFC 2132.
MSBR supports the following DHCP operation modes:
DHCP Relay
5.1 DHCP Client
The DHCP client operation mode allows the MSBR to acquire IPv4 addresses and network
configuration parameters automatically on its network interfaces.
