DHCP
The DHCP tab allows this device to act as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server.
DHCP service simplifies management of a network by dynamically assigning IP addresses to new
clients on the network.
Click on the Enable DHCP service checkbox if you want the ioSafe R4 device to act as a DHCP
server. This is convenient in networks where DHCP service is not already available.
Note
These options are available only if this device is not already using a DHCP
address. Enabling DHCP service on a network already utilizing another
DHCP server will result in conflicts. If you wish to use this device as a
DHCP server, make sure to specify static addresses in the Ethernet and
DNS tabs.
