CHAPTER 14 DHCP Server 14.1 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 NBG5615's LAN as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the NBG5615 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. 14.1.1 What You Can Do • Use the General screen to enable the DHCP server (Section 14.2 on page 133). • Use the Advanced screen to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers based on their MAC Addresses (Section 14.3 on page 134). • Use the Client List screen to view the current DHCP client information (Section 14.4 on page 136). 14.1.2 What You Need To Know The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter. MAC Addresses 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. 14.2 DHCP Server General Screen Use this screen to enable the DHCP server. Click Network > DHCP Server. The following screen displays. NBG5615 User's Guide 133
