17.4 DHCP Server
You can configure your device as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server.
Your device and each PC in your LAN requires its own IP address. One option for allocat-
ing IP addresses in your LAN is the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). If you
configure your device as a DHCP server, the device automatically assigns IP addresses to
requesting PCs in the LAN from a predefined IP address pool.
If a client requires an IP address for the first time, it sends a DHCP request (with its MAC
address) to the available DHCP server as a network broadcast.* The client then receives
its IP address from bintec elmeg (as part of a brief exchange).
You therefore do not need to allocate fixed IP addresses to PCs, which reduces the
amount of configuration work in your network. To do this, you set up a pool of IP ad-
dresses, from which your device assigns IP addresses to hosts in the LAN for a defined
period of time. A DHCP server also transfers the addresses of the domain name server
entered statically or by PPP negotiation (DNS), NetBIOS name server (WINS) and default
gateway.
17.4.1 IP Pool Configuration
The Local Services->DHCP Server->IP Pool Configuration menu displays a list of all the
configured IP pools. This list is global and also displays pools configured in other menus.
