chapter.

The actual physical connection determines whether the Device ports are LAN or WAN ports. There 

are two separate IP networks, one inside the LAN network and the other outside the WAN network 

as shown next.

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 Device as a DHCP server 

or disable it. When configured as a server, the Device provides the TCP/IP configuration for the 

clients. If you turn DHCP service off, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the 

computer must be manually configured.
