Additional Information about the Network DHCP Setting
Network DHCP means that the VMM device can be configured to request an address from a DHCP server and requires the inclusion of a DHCP server in the core network configuration to answer these requests. With Network DHCP selected, the VMM will send DHCP requests for its own address to the core network once it becomes associated and establishes communications with the infrastructure.
