DHCP Server
The Magnum Router has the ability to act as a local DHCP server in a network environment.
It cannot function as an enterprise level DHCP server, pass DHCP traffic across any of its WAN ports, does not support BOOTP processing and does not support multiple scopes.
Making the Magnum Router the local DHCP server eliminates unneeded WAN traffic while IP hosts make requests for information.
