DHCP Server
13.1 Overview
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 EMG2926-Q10A’s LAN
as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the EMG2926-Q10A provides the TCP/
IP configuration for the clients. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server on
your LAN, or else the computer must be manually configured.

13.1.1 What You Can Do
• Use the General screen to enable the DHCP server (
• Use the Advanced screen to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers
based on their MAC Addresses (
• Use the Client List screen to view the current DHCP client information (
13.1.2 What You Need To Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.

to systems that support DHCP client capability.
IP Pool Setup
The EMG2926-Q10A is pre-configured with a pool of
32 IP addresses starting from 192.168.0.33 to
192.168.0.64.
This configuration leaves 31 IP addresses (excluding the EMG2926-Q10A itself) in
the lower range
(192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.32)
for other server computers, for instance, servers for
mail, FTP, TFTP, web, etc., that you may have.
MAC Addresses
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is
assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example,
00:A0:C5:00:00:02. Find out the MAC addresses of your network devices if you intend to add them
to the DHCP Client List screen.
