DHCP Server/Client/Relay

DHCP Server/Client/Relay

Use the options on this window to enable the local Adit unit to act as either a DHCP Server, Client or BOOTP relay agent. Workstations with DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) client software will generate a broadcast message requesting an IP Address from a DHCP server. As a relay agent, the Adit will forward these requests to the appropriate server. When the server assigns the workstation an IP Address, the Adit will then send this address back to the appropriate workstation. Using this method, the DHCP server can reside at a Remote (WAN) location and the Adit can serve as an agent between requesting workstations and the server. As a DHCP server, the Adit can assign up to 254 IP Addresses to DHCP clients on the local LAN. It will not assign to clients across the WAN.
