Configuring DHCP
Objective
To configure Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for setting up your private network. In this task, we are listing the steps to configure the DHCP server.
DHCP allows dynamic allocation of network addresses. Your gateway can be both a DHCP client and a DHCP server. When communicating with the local network devices, such as computers and printers, your gateway functions as a DHCP server. However, while communicating with your ISP, the gateway functions as a DHCP client.
