4.1.5 Client List
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 ZyXEL
Device as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the ZyXEL Device
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.
Click Status > Client List to open the following screen. The read-only DHCP table shows
current DHCP client information (including IP Address, Host Name and MAC Address) of
all network clients using the ZyXEL Device’s DHCP server.
