Network Setup > DHCP Client
Network Setup > DHCP Client
On this screen you can enable DHCP Client (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), which is a TCP/IP protocol that enables
PCs and workstations to get temporary or permanent IP addresses out of a pool from centrally-administered servers. This
screen will provide user messages such as the one shown is red. Later, it will display the Current DHCP Client Status. For
example: DHCP Client has not yet obtained an IP address from the DHCP server.
Important: If PPPoE is enabled, then DHCP client cannot be enabled. The interface to the internet can be either through
PPPoE or DHCP client at any time.
If DHCP client is enabled and if the IP address has been assigned, then the following values will be displayed on this screen:
• Assigned IP Address
• Mask
• DHCP
• DNS Address
• Gateway Address
• Renew Time (time at which the DHCP client should begin trying to contact its server to renew the lease it has
obtained).
• Expiry Time (time at which the DHCP client must stop using the lease if it has not been able to contact a server in
order to renew it).
