6 DHCP Server Setup
6.1 Overview
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) can be used to automatically assign IP addresses, to deliver
TCP/IP stack configuration parameters (ie. subnet mask and default router), and to provide other
configuration information. Figure 6-1, below, illustrates the Loop-IP6610 set up in a DHCP server
application. All hosts (shown on the right hand side of the network diagram) can get IP addresses from the
IP6610 when its DHCP Server is enabled.
