DHCP Setup

DHCP

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows 

individual clients (workstations) to obtain TCP/IP configuration at startup from a 

server. If you select Server the ZyXEL Device provides TCP/IP configuration for 

the clients. When set as a server, fill in the IP Pool Starting Address and Pool 

Size fields.
If you select Relay the ZyXEL Device forwards TCP/IP configuration from an 

alternate DHCP server.
Select None to stop the ZyXEL Device from acting as a DHCP server. When 

you select None, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the 

computers must be manually configured.
