3.4.1.2 DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows the individual PC to obtain the

TCP/IP configuration from the centralized DHCP server. You can configure this router as a

DHCP server or disable it. The DHCP server can assign IP address, IP default gateway,

and DNS server to DHCP clients. This router can also act as a surrogate DHCP server

(DHCP proxy) where it relays IP address assignment from an actual real DHCP server to

clients. You can enable or disable DHCP server or DHCP proxy.

Click DHCP in the left pane, the page shown in the following figure appears.

The following table describes the parameters of this page:
