LABEL DESCRIPTION
Enable DHCP
Server Enable or Disable DHCP for LAN.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC
2132) allows individual clients (computers) to obtain TCP/IP
configuration at startup from a server. Leave the Enable DHCP
Server check box selected unless your ISP instructs you to do
otherwise. Clear it to disable the NBG-417N acting as a DHCP
server. When configured as a server, the NBG-417N provides TCP/
IP configuration for the clients. If not, DHCP service is disabled and
you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the
computers must be manually configured. When set as a server, fill
in the following four fields.
IP Pool Starting
Address This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP
address pool for LAN.
Pool Size This field specifies the size, or count of the IP address pool for LAN.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes back to the NBG-417N.
