DHCP Server/Client/Relay
Use the options on this window to enable the local Adit unit to act as either a DHCP
Server, Client or BOOTP relay agent. Workstations with DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) client software will generate a broadcast message requesting
an IP Address from a DHCP server. As a relay agent, the Adit will forward these
requests to the appropriate server. When the server assigns the workstation an IP
Address, the Adit will then send this address back to the appropriate workstation. Using
this method, the DHCP server can reside at a Remote (WAN) location and the Adit can
serve as an agent between requesting workstations and the server. As a DHCP server,
the Adit can assign up to 254 IP Addresses to DHCP clients on the local LAN. It will
not assign to clients across the WAN.
