17.3 DHCP Table Screen
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 Prestige
as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the Prestige provides the TCP/IP
configuration for the clients. If set to None, DHCP service will be disabled and you must have
another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computer must be manually configured.
Click Maintenance, and then the DHCP Table tab. Read-only information here relates to
your DHCP status. The DHCP table shows current DHCP Client information (including IP
Address, Host Name and MAC Address) of all network clients using the DHCP server.
