D The device then enables its own DHCP server if no other DHCP serv-
ers are found. If at a later point of time a further DHCP server is
switched on in the LAN, the device automatically changes back into

D 'client': The DHCP server is switched off, the device acts like a DHCP cli-
ent and obtains the address information from a different DHCP server in
the LAN.
Note: Only use this setting if assured, that a further DHCP server is active in
the LAN and takes over the assigned IP address information.
D 'forwarding': The DHCP server is active and the device accepts the re-
quests from the DHCP clients in the local network. The device does not
respond to these requests itself, but forwards them to a central DHCP
server.
Whether the DHCP server is active or not can be seen in the DHCP statistics.
The default setting for this condition is 'auto'.

can be entered here.
