4.0 Configuration
LAN DHCP
A VIP4G may be configured to provide dynamic host control protocol (DHCP) service to all attached (either
wired or wireless (WiFi)-connected) devices. By default the DHCP service is enabled, so devices that are
connected to the physical Ethernet LAN ports, as well as any devices that are connected by WiFi will be
assigned an IP by the VIP4G.
The option is used to enable or disable the DHCP service for devices
connected to the LAN Port and devices connected through a Wireless
connection. This includes VIP connected as clients and other wireless
devices such as 802.11 connections.

Prior to enabling this service,
verify that there are no other
devices - either wired (e.g.

VIP Series unit) with an active
DHCP SERVER service.
(The Server issues IP
address information at the
request of a DHCP Client,
which receives the
information.)
