7.4.4.3.4.2 Configuration | Routing | DHCP
Use this page to configure the modem’s P0 | MGMT port DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) Relay feature.
DHCP allows a device to be configured automatically – eliminating the need for intervention by a
network administrator – and provides a server located at the hub for keeping track of devices
that are connected to the network. This prevents two devices from accidentally being
configured with the same IP Address.
The CDM-760 DHCP Relay feature allows you to deploy a single DHCP server at the hub that
manages all of the devices throughout your remote networks. When a device on the CDM-760's
network issues a DHCP request, it is relayed to the DHCP server as specified by the "DHCP Server
IP Address". The DHCP response is then sent directly to the requesting device.
