5.2.3.2. DHCP Relay

Some ISPs perform the DHCP server function for their customers’ home/small office network. In this case, you can configure this device to act as a DHCP relay agent. When a user’s computer on your network requests Internet access, the router contacts your ISP to obtain the IP configuration, and then forward that information to the computer.

Parameter Description

DHCP Server Address Specify the IP address of your ISP’s DHCP server. Requests for IP information from your LAN interface will be passed to the default gateway, which should route the request appropriately.
