DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual clients (computers) 
to obtain the TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The 
Prestige has built-in DHCP server capability enabled by default. It can assign IP 
addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to DHCP clients. The Prestige can now 
also act as a surrogate DHCP server (DHCP Relay) where it relays IP address assignment 
from the actual real DHCP server to the clients.

IP Alias allows you to partition a physical network into logical networks over the same 
Ethernet interface. The Prestige supports three logical LAN interfaces via its single physical 
Ethernet interface with the Prestige itself as the gateway for each LAN network.
