z When DHCP is disabled, sockets UDP 67 and UDP 68 are disabled at the same
time.
The preceding functions are implemented as follows:

enabled. If the DHCP server and DHCP relay are configured, sockets UDP 67 and
UDP 68 will be enabled.

DHCP server and DHCP relay are configured, sockets UDP 67 and UDP 68 will be
disabled.
