NEOBIT 1014VA DHCP modes 
The device can be configured as a DHCP server, DHCP relay 
agent, or, in some cases, a DHCP client.  
 If you configure the device as a DHCP server, it will 
maintain the pool of addresses and distribute them to your 
LAN computers. If the pool of addresses includes private IP 
addresses, you must also configure the Network Address 
Translation service, so that the private addresses can be 
translated to your public IP address on the Internet. Both 
DHCP server and NAT are enabled in the default 
configuration. 
 If your ISP performs the DCHP server function for your 
network, then you can configure the device as a DHCP 
relay agent. When the NEOBIT 1014VA receives a request 
for Internet access from a computer on your network, it 
contacts your ISP for the necessary IP information, and 
then relays the assigned information back to the computer. 
 If you have another PC or device on your network that is 
already performing the DHCP server function, then you can 
configure the LAN port on the NEOBIT 1014VA to be a 
DHCP client of that server (as are your PCs). This 
configuration is not discussed in this chapter. See Chapter 
5 for instructions. 
 
Note 
You can input settings for both DHCP server and DHCP relay 
mode, and then activate either mode at any time. De-activated 
settings are retained for your future use.
