DHCP Server
The DHCPv4 Server feature enables you to configure the device as a DHCPv4
server. A DHCPv4 server is used to assign IPv4 address and other information to
another device (DHCP client)
The DHCPv4 server allocates IPv4 addresses from a user-defined pool of IPv4
addresses.
These can be in the following modes:
•Static Allocation—The hardware address or client identifier of a host is
manually mapped to an IP address. This is done in the Static Hosts page.
•Dynamic Allocation—A client obtains a leased IP address for a specified
period of time (that can be infinite). If the DHCP client does not renew the
allocated IP Address, the IP address is revoked at the end of this period,
and the client must request another IP address. This is done in the Network
Pools page.
