DHCP Configuration
The DI-1162/DI-1162M Router implements the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), which allows the
entire IP network to be centrally managed by the router. It does this by assigning IP addresses and configuration
parameters to hosts as they are powered on and come onto the network. This can be a great help for network
administration since many administrative tasks such as keeping track of each computer’s IP address are handled by
the router. The DI-1162/DI-1162M can implement DHCP in one of the two ways shown below:
DHCP Server Configuration
When acting as a DHCP server, the DI-1162/DI-1162M will manage many of the IP network parameters. The
DI-1162/DI-1162M will never assign a broadcast or network IP addresses to hosts, even if such an address is
included in the specified range.
