DHCP Server
18.1 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 NBG4615’s LAN as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a
server, the NBG4615 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.

network devices if you intend to add them to the DHCP Client List screen.
