CHAPTER 15
DHCP Server
15.1 Overview
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to
obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the Router’s LAN as a DHCP
server or disable it. When configured as a server, the Router provides the TCP/IP configuration for
the clients. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else
the computer must be manually configured.
15.2 What You Can Do
•Use the General (Section 15.3 on page 135) screen to enable the DHCP server.
•Use the Advanced (Section 15.4 on page 136) screen to assign IP addresses on the LAN to
specific individual computers based on their MAC Addresses.
