CHAPTER 9 DHCP Server 9.1 Overview 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 NBG-417N's LAN as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the NBG-417N provides the TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computer must be manually configured. 9.2 What You Can Do • Use the General screen (Section 9.4 on page 102) to enable the DHCP server. • Use the Advanced screen (Section 9.5 on page 102) to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers based on their MAC Addresses. • Use the Client List screen (Section 9.6 on page 104) to view the current DHCP client information. 9.3 What You Need To Know Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. Find out the MAC addresses of your network devices if you intend to add them to the DHCP Client List screen. Refer to Section 3.4.6 on page 37 for information on IP Address and Subnet Mask. Refer to the Section 3.4.7 on page 38 section for information on System DNS Servers. NBG-417N User's Guide 101
