CHAPTER 15 DHCP Server 15.1 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's LAN as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the NBG 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. 15.2 What You Can Do • Use the General (Section 15.3 on page 114) screen to enable the DHCP server. • Use the Advanced (Section 15.4 on page 115) screen to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers based on their MAC Addresses. 15.3 General Screen Use this screen to enable the DHCP server.
