NBG4615 User’s Guide

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 NBG4615’s LAN as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a 
server, the NBG4615 provides the TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If DHCP 
service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server on that network, or else 
the computer must be manually configured.

Click the DHCP Table (Details...) hyperlink in the Status screen. Read-only 
information here relates to your DHCP status. The DHCP table shows current 
DHCP client information (including MAC Address, IP Address, and Expiration 
time) of all network clients using the NBG4615’s DHCP server.
