Network > DHCP and DNS
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that is used to configure
network devices to communicate on an IP network. A DHCP client uses the DHCP protocol to
acquire configuration information, such as an IP address, a default route, and one or more DNS
server addresses from a DHCP server. The DHCP client then uses this information to configure its
host. Once the configuration process is complete, the host is able to communicate on the network.
For details about basic setup of DHCP server on the LAN side see
DHCP Server
.
The DHCP and DNS page allows you to configure advanced options such as custom DNS
servers, custom lease files, advanced TFTP settings and MAC Address-based IP Address
allocation.
To configure:
1.
Go to Network > DHCP and DNS.
2.
Enter the configuration settings. See
Table 11-13
to
Table 11-17
