ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition User Guide DHCP The DHCP tab allows you to specify this device as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. DHCP service simplifies management of a network by dynamically assigning IP addresses to new clients on the network. Figure 2-10 Select the Enable DHCP service check box if you want the ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition device to act as a DHCP server. This is convenient in networks where DHCP service is not already available. Note: These options are available only if this device is not already using a DHCP address. Enabling DHCP service on a network already utilizing another DHCP server will result in conflicts. If you wish to use this device as a DHCP server, make sure to specify static addresses in the Ethernet and DNS tabs. Route: A Manual Routing Table The Route tab allows you to specify a manual routing table for each Ethernet interface. You can use this option to optimize performance. For example, you could configure a manual routing table to assure that these Ethernet interfaces were directly routed over a fiber backbone to assure that the unit would not experience the traffic congestion that can build up on a gigabit segment.

The Route tab allows you to specify a manual routing table for each Ethernet interface. You can
use this option to optimize performance. For example, you could configure a manual routing table
to assure that these Ethernet interfaces were directly routed over a fiber backbone to assure that the
unit would not experience the traffic congestion that can build up on a gigabit segment.
