Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server

The DSL router provides a DHCP Server feature as specified in RFC 2131,
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, and RFC 2132, DHCP Option and BOOTP
Vendor Extensions. DHCP is the protocol used for automatic IP address
assignment.

DHCP setup considerations:

H

The range of IP addresses to be used by the DHCP server must be
configured. The maximum number of clients is 256.

H

The DHCP server must be enabled.
