Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows the router to automatically obtain the IP address from
the server. This option is commonly used in situations where IP is dynamically assigned and is not known
prior to assignment.
To configure the router for a DHCP connection:
1. Click on Setup and then click on New Connection. The default DHCP connection setup is displayed.
2. At the Type field, select DHCP. The DHCP connection setup page is displayed. Figure 7 illustrates a
typical DHCP configuration.
3. Give your DHCP connection a unique name. The name must not have spaces and cannot begin with
numbers. In this example the unique name is DHCP1.
4. Select the encapsulation type (LLC or VC); if you are not sure just use the default mode.
