LABEL DESCRIPTION
DHCP Setup
DHCP DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows
individual clients (workstations) to obtain TCP/IP configuration at startup from a
server. If you select Server the ZyXEL Device provides TCP/IP configuration for
the clients. When set as a server, fill in the IP Pool Starting Address and Pool
Size fields.
If you select Relay the ZyXEL Device forwards TCP/IP configuration from an
alternate DHCP server.
Select None to stop the ZyXEL Device from acting as a DHCP server. When
you select None, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the
computers must be manually configured.
