ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition User Guide

Select the Enable DHCP service check box if you want the ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer 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

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.
