ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition User Guide
DHCP
The DHCP tab allows you to specify this device as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. DHCP service simplifies management of a network by dynamically assigning IP addresses to new clients on the network.

Select the Enable DHCP service check box if you want the ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition device to act as a DHCP server. This is convenient in networks where DHCP service is not already available.
Note: These options are available only if this device is not already using a DHCP address. 
Enabling DHCP service on a network already utilizing another DHCP server will
result in conflicts. If you wish to use this device as a DHCP server, make sure to specify static addresses in the Ethernet and DNS tabs.
Route: A Manual Routing Table
The Route tab allows you to specify a manual routing table for each Ethernet interface. You can use this option to optimize performance. For example, you could configure a manual routing table to assure that these Ethernet interfaces were directly routed over a fiber backbone to assure that the unit would not experience the traffic congestion that can build up on a gigabit segment.
