19-4 Maintenance
19.3 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.
