General Configuration 
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol that allows individual devices on an IP network to get 
their own network configuration information (IP address, subnet mask, broadcast address, etc.) from a DHCP 
server. The overall purpose of DHCP is to make it easier to administer a large network. 
DHCP: 
Enable/disable the DHCP server. 
Subnet: 
Enter the subnet address. For the subnet change, all the ranges have to be deleted; 
otherwise, you would not be able to edit the subnet. 
Mask: 
Enter the subnet mask address. 
Gateway: 
Enter the gateway address. 
DNS: 
Enter the DNS address.
 
Lease Time: 
Select the DHCP Lease Time from the selection box. Lease time is set in days, hours, 
and minutes. A Lease Time of 00-00-00 is an Infinite Lease Time.
