Table 43 Network > DHCP Server > General 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-416N acting as a DHCP server. When configured as a server, the NBG-416N 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-416N.

You can also use this screen to configure the DNS server information that the NBG-416N sends to the DHCP clients. 106 NBG-416N User's Guide
